The cases of three sisters who presented with spontaneous pneumothoraces are described. In two of the patients large bullae were clearly demonstrable. No recognisable associations of bullae or pneumothorax were present and there was no evidence of generalised emphysema. The cases suggest a familial predisposition to the development of bullae in otherwise apparently healthy lungs.
本文描述了三姐妹出现自发性气胸的病例。其中两名患者可见明显的大疱。未发现大疱或气胸有可识别的关联因素,也没有肺气肿的证据。这些病例表明,在其他方面看似健康的肺部,存在发生大疱的家族易感性。
