The case of a 3-year-old girl with bilateral pulmonary hydatid disease presenting as a tension pneumothorax is described. This is a rare but serious complication of hydatid disease in the pediatric age group which may arise as a result of rapid growth of the cyst in the lung and low resistance to its expansion. Prompt relief of the pneumothorax with intercostal drainage is advocated, followed by early surgical removal of any suspected cyst to avoid further complication.
本文描述了一名3岁双侧肺包虫病女童以张力性气胸为表现的病例。这是小儿年龄组包虫病罕见但严重的并发症，可能是由于肺内囊肿快速生长及其扩张阻力低所致。主张通过肋间引流迅速缓解气胸，随后尽早手术切除任何可疑囊肿以避免进一步并发症。
