Chest wall swelling and pneumothorax after shoulder arthroscopy: Were the 2 events totally independent?
Medicine (Baltimore) 2017 May
RATIONALE: Arthroscopic shoulder surgery (ASS) is a low mortality and morbidity procedure, but anesthetic complications are reported. There have been no reports of combined chest wall swelling and pneumothorax after ASS.
PATIENT CONCERNS: The patient's right lung was severely collapsed and the mediastinum was deviated after ASS.
DIAGNOSIS: Pneumothorax on right chest.
INTERVENTIONS: A chest tube was inserted and oxygen therapy was performed.
OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged uneventfully.
LESSONS: Elective ASS has low mortality and morbidity rates, but we should be more concerned over the complications after ASS.
