We herein present two cases of spontaneous pneumothorax. The first one is occurring in an elderly female who has an extensive history of smoking and an underlying chronic obstructive lung disease, whereas the second case represents a congenital bleb in a male patient who has no other underlying pulmonary disorder. Both cases presented to our facility with a spontaneous pneumothorax following pulmonary bleb rupture. Both patients underwent thoracoscopic surgery with subsequent partial pleurectomy and pleurodesis.
我们在此报告两例自发性气胸病例。第一例发生在一位有大量吸烟史且患有潜在慢性阻塞性肺疾病的老年女性身上，而第二例是一名男性患者的先天性肺大疱，他没有其他潜在的肺部疾病。两例均因肺大疱破裂导致自发性气胸前来我院就诊。两名患者均接受了胸腔镜手术，随后进行了部分胸膜切除术和胸膜固定术。
