Occult bronchopleural fistulas are frequently present when empyemas develop in a postpneumonectomy space. Recognition of the bronchial stump disruption can be difficult, which may lead to delays or errors in the management of these difficult problems. We report the use of xenon ventilation nuclear scintigraphy as an effective noninvasive means of confirming the diagnosis of occult postpneumonectomy bronchopleural fistulas.
当脓胸发生于肺切除术后胸腔时，常存在隐匿性支气管胸膜瘘。支气管残端破裂的识别可能困难，这可能导致这些难题处理的延迟或错误。我们报告使用氙通气核素闪烁扫描作为确诊隐匿性肺切除术后支气管胸膜瘘的一种有效的非侵入性手段。
