Abstract:
A 23-year old male with an spontaneous hemopneumothorax and in the state of severe shock was admitted to our hospital. The etiology, incidence and therapeutic measures are discussed. It is recommended that patients with spontaneous hemopneumothorax after securing the diagnosis by radiography and puncture biopsy have to be admitted immediately in a thoracic surgery clinic. An early thoracotomy is favourable.
