Abstract

Pneumothorax is a rare entity in the course of sarcoidosis, yet the rupture of subpleural blebs or bullae or the necrosis of subpleural granulomas may be pathogenic agents responsible for spontaneous pneumothorax. In the case presented, there was intense initial pulmonary paranchymal involvement in the bilateral lung zones. Though there was a good clinical and radiological response to systemic corticosteroid therapy, unilateral pneumothorax occurred following 2 months of treatment. A tube thoracostomy and underwater sealed drainage was performed. This case is presented with a discussion of the literature as a rare example of sarcoidosis

Özet

Sarkoidoz seyrinde pnömotoraks nadir bir durumdur ve patogenezde subplevral bleb veya büllerin rüptürü ve subplevral granulomların nekrozu sorumlu tutulmaktadır. Sunulan evre 2 hastada, başlangıç akciğer parankim tutulumu yoğun olup her iki akciğeri tümüyle kapsamaktadır. Sistemik kortikosteroid tedavisine klinik ve radyolojik olarak iyi yanıt alınsa da tedavinin ikinci ayında tek taraflı pnömotoraks izlenmiştir. Tüp torakostomi ve kapalı su altı drenajı uygulanmıştır. Hasta, literatür bilgileri eşliğinde nadir bir sarkoidoz seyri olarak sunulmuştur.
