Post-Traumatic Pulmonary Pseudocyst following Blunt Chest Trauma; a Case Report
Journal Title: Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Traumatic pulmonary pseudocyst is a rare complication of chest trauma that has been poorly documented and usually resolves without specific treatment. Here, we present a case of pulmonary pseudocyst in a child with chest trauma without obvious symptoms. It is important to consider this diagnosis in patients with chest trauma to avoid unnecessary invasive procedures.
