| Popis: | Emphysematous bullae in a lung can coalesce into a large lucency and may cause a shift of mediastinal structures. The present report describes a case of multiple emphysematous bullae in a 35 years old man that occupied the entire left hemi-thorax with mediastinal compression of the right lung. The patient underwent a left sided thoracotomy with a left pneumonectomy. The patient had an uneventful recovery. |
