WANG, Ning; WU, Xuedong; ZHANG, Shanshan y LI, Na. Huge congenital cystic lung lesion mimicking tension pneumothorax in a child. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2019, vol.117, n.4, pp.e416-e419. ISSN 0325-0075. http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2019.e416.
Treats of symptomatic infants with congenital cystic lung lesions (CCLLs) need surgical resection. Variable location and size of the air cyst of involved lung mean that different surgical strategies must be selected. The presence of huge CCLLs mimicking tension pneumothorax would hamper accurate judgment and timely treatment in dealing with respiratory emergencies. Rare experience reports are coping with childhood tension cystic lung lesion. We present a case of childhood huge CCLLs which was similar to tension pneumothorax based on clinical manifestations and imaging evaluations. Implementation of instant decompression measure against tension pneumothorax failed to alleviate respiratory distress of child. We should exclude the possibility of huge lung cystic lesion in children when clinical evidence inclines to the diagnosis of tension pneumothorax.
