Abstract
Spontaneous hemothorax is an uncommon condition usually associated with trauma, iatrogenic interventions, or rupture of pleural adhesions, and pneumothorax. We report the unique case of spontaneous hemothorax in a 35-year-old woman resulting from uterine hemorrhage in whom fenestrations in the diaphragm allowed blood to pass from the abdomen to the chest.Entities:
