Akut dyspnö udlöst af spontan pneumothorax hos gravid med pulmonal arterieagenesi
Sammanfattning
A 29-year-old pregnant woman was admitted to hospital with chest pain and dyspnoea. A thoracal computed tomography (CT) was
performed to rule out pulmonary embolism, and it revealed a left-sided pneumothorax, which was treated with tube thoracostomy. Three days
after discharge she was readmitted with spontaneous pressure pneumothorax. Her clinical condition did not improve, and a pulmonary
scintigraphy and a new thoracal CT showed unilateral right pulmonary agenesis. Pulmonary agenesis is very rare in adulthood, and in this
case it was complicated with spontaneous pneumothorax.
