Bilateral primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a rare case of lung disease.
A 20-year-old man with a complaint of shortness of breath is suspected of having PSP and tuberculosis. The patient underwent water seal drainage installation in both lung cavities, but showed no improvement. Multiple blebs were found after a few days. A wedge resection with VATS became an option. The patient had improved lung function after the procedure.
The WSD installation showed lungs improvement. However, when trained for lung expansion, the lung condition became bad. After wedge resection with the help of VATS on multiple blebs, the lung had a significant improvement.
Wedge resection could be considered in PSP patients with multiple blebs.
双侧原发性自发性气胸(PSP)是一种罕见的肺部疾病病例。
一名20岁男性因呼吸急促就诊,疑似患有PSP和肺结核。该患者在双侧肺腔进行了水封引流装置安装,但未见改善。几天后发现多个肺大疱。电视辅助胸腔镜手术(VATS)下楔形切除术成为一种选择。术后患者肺功能得到改善。
水封引流装置安装后肺部状况有所改善。然而,在进行肺扩张训练时,肺部状况变差。在VATS帮助下对多个肺大疱进行楔形切除术后,肺部有显著改善。
对于有多个肺大疱的PSP患者可考虑楔形切除术。
