We report a case of cardiac arrest secondary to pneumothorax. The patient failed to improve, and further investigation showed an underlying condition predisposing the patient to the development of pneumothoraces - lymphangioleiomyomatosis. This highlights the importance of follow-up and investigation in patients presenting with their first pneumothorax.
我们报告一例因气胸继发心脏骤停的病例。患者病情未见改善,进一步检查显示存在一种使患者易患气胸的潜在疾病——淋巴管平滑肌瘤病。这凸显了对首次出现气胸的患者进行随访和检查的重要性。
