Abstract
Bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax with almost complete collapse of the lungs in a 29-year-old man is reported. On admission to hospital the patient was in moderate respiratory distress, but the arterial blood gases were normal. Initially he was treated with bilateral tube drainage. Thoracotomy with parietal pleurectomy was later done on the right side to prevent recurrence.Entities:
