Haemothorax is one of the less common presentations that requires hospital admission. Most cases are associated with underlying causes, but there is such an entity called spontaneous haemothorax. Spontaneous haemothorax is commonly associated with adhesions within the pleural cavity. Here, we reported two cases of young adults who presented with massive spontaneous haemothorax and required emergency thoracotomy for haemostasis purpose.
血胸是一种较少见的需要住院治疗的病症。大多数病例都有潜在病因，但存在一种叫做自发性血胸的情况。自发性血胸通常与胸腔内粘连有关。在此，我们报告了两例年轻成人患者，他们表现为大量自发性血胸，需要进行急诊开胸手术以达到止血目的。
