Abstract

Presentation of Case A 32-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of recurrent right pneumothorax. She was well until 32 months earlier, when a spontaneous right pneumothorax developed; a chest tube was inserted, and she recovered in 10 days. Five months later another right pneumothorax, 80 to 90 percent, was again treated by insertion of a chest tube. Twenty months before entry a recurrence of right pneumothorax was again managed with a chest tube, and tetracycline sclerosis was performed twice. Three months before admission a fourth episode of right pneumothorax occurred, and she came to this hospital. An x-ray.
