LOPES, Sara; MACIEL, João y PINHO, Paulo. Uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery bullectomy in vanishing lung syndrome – What about giant bullae?. Cir. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.88, suppl.1, pp.68-70. Epub 08-Feb-2022. ISSN 2444-054X. https://doi.org/10.24875/ciru.20001515.
A 36-year-old-woman, smoker, without other relevant medical history, presented with symptoms of dyspnea, right localized chest pain, and non-productive cough. On the emergency department, the chest X-ray was interpreted as a giant right pneumothorax and a chest drain was inserted. Thoracic computed tomography demonstrated a giant emphysematous bulla with 23 cm on her right upper lobe. We report the first uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery bullectomy for a bulla greater than 20 cm, in a patient with vanishing lung syndrome.
