Abstract:
We report 4 cases of acute lobar torsion in patients who had undergone bilateral lung transplantation. Bronchoscopy showed complete obstruction in only 2 of them. Torsion was confirmed by computed tomography in coronal minimal and maximal intensity projections with reconstruction. At operation, 1 detorsion and 3 lobectomies were carried out. Early diagnosis and rapid surgical intervention can save the affected lobe.
