Intercostal herniation is an abnormal protrusion of lung tissue through the boundaries of the thoracic cavity. It is commonly seen after chest trauma or thoracic surgery but rarely occurs spontaneously. We report a male patient who presented with an intercostal herniation after vigorous coughing for over 2 weeks. Treatment of post-coughing intercostal hernias is either conservative management or surgical intervention, which is dictated by the signs, symptoms, site, and presence of strangulation.
肋间隙疝是指肺组织通过胸腔边界的异常突出。它通常见于胸部创伤或胸部手术后，但很少自发发生。我们报告了一名男性患者，他在剧烈咳嗽超过 2 周后出现肋间隙疝。治疗方法取决于症状、体征、部位和是否有绞窄等因素，包括保守治疗或手术干预。
