| Popis: |
Simultaneous occurrence of pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum is a rare event, usually related to traumas or surgical procedures involving the diaphragm.However, clinicians should be aware of the possible onset of these two clinical conditions even in patients without a recent clinical history that can clearly explain them.Cross-sectional imaging techniques are of great importance, providing crucial information about the patient's clinical status and guiding the following patient management.This work describes a unique case of a sudden occurrence of simultaneous pneumothorax and pneumoperitoneum in a previous asymptomatic man with a solely clinical history of minor trauma during childhood, evaluated through a multimodality imaging approach and treated with video-assisted thoracoscopy surgery. |
