Post-traumatic pulmonary pseudocsyt

Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts are rare cavitary lesions of the lungs that develop after chest trauma. The lesions often occur in young adults and males. Other cavitary lesions of the lungs must be taken into consideration when distinguishing the diagnosis, and it must be kept in mind that computerized tomography is more effective than chest radiography in the diagnosis of traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts. Conservative therapy is recommended in its treatment. The current report presents an 18-year-old patient who was admitted to emergency department and then thoracic surgery clinic, after sustaining a motor vehicle accident and discharged as a healthy person.
