Thoracoscopic management of spontaneous pneumothorax due to azygos lobe bullae.

摘要

A 22-year-old man presented with recurrent right-sided spontaneous pneumothorax caused by rupture of azygos lobe bullae. Surgical management was successfully completed using a video-assisted thoracoscopic approach. Resection of the bullae harboring azygos lobe and subsequent pleurodesis were performed, sparing the meso-azygos and azygos vein.
