Abstract:
Pulmonary laceration is an uncommon complication of tube thoracostomy technique that is expected vigorous clinically and may be fatal. In this study, we report a case of pulmonary laceration owing to a tube thoracostomy, with no clinical signs, and detected incidentally on thorax computed tomography.
