Chest tube malpositioning is reported to be the most common complication associated with tube thoracostomy. Intraparenchymal and intrafissural malpositions are the most commonly reported tube sites. We present a case about a 21-year-old patient with cystic fibrosis who was admitted due to bronchiectasis exacerbation and developed a right-sided pneumothorax for which a chest tube was inserted. Partial initial improvement in the pneumothorax was noted on the chest radiograph, after which the chest tube stopped functioning and the pneumothorax remained for 19 days. Chest computed tomography was done and revealed a malpositioned chest tube in the right side located inside the thoracic cavity but outside the pleural cavity (intrathoracic, extrapleural). The removed chest tube was patent with no obstructing materials in its lumen. A new thoracostomy tube was inserted and complete resolution of the pneumothorax followed.
据报道,胸管位置不当是与胸腔闭式引流术相关的最常见并发症。实质内和裂隙内位置不当是最常报道的胸管位置。我们报告一例21岁的囊性纤维化患者,因支气管扩张加重入院,并发右侧气胸,遂插入胸管。胸部X光片显示气胸有部分初步改善,之后胸管停止发挥作用,气胸持续了19天。进行了胸部计算机断层扫描,结果显示右侧胸管位置不当,位于胸腔内但在胸膜腔外(胸腔内,胸膜外)。取出的胸管通畅,管腔内没有阻塞物。插入了一根新的胸腔造口管,随后气胸完全消退。
