    Asthma attacks can worsen with pneumothorax. For recurrent pneumothorax in asthma patients, early surgical intervention like visceral pleurectomy is recommended after the first recurrence.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Asthma exacerbations can be complicated by pneumothorax, a serious condition.
    • Recurrent pneumothorax poses significant management challenges in patients with asthma.

    Observation:

    • Two young patients with asthma experienced three successive pneumothorax episodes during asthmatic attacks.
    • Initial management involved pleural drainage, with surgical fixation (visceral pleurectomy) employed during the second episode.

    Findings:

    • Pneumothorax can complicate and exacerbate asthma symptoms.
    • Surgical intervention, specifically visceral pleurectomy, was effective in managing recurrent pneumothorax in these cases.

    Implications:

    • Early surgical treatment for pneumothorax in asthma patients is suggested, particularly after the first recurrence.
