Abstract

A 26-year-old male patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy presented with acute onset of severe dyspnea and back pain. The patient was diagnosed as left pneumothorax in another medical center. Chest X-ray demonstrated total pneumothorax on the left side with a mediastinal shift towards the right side. Tube thoracostomy did not provide pulmonary expansion in the left lung. Rigid bronchoscopy was not performed because of the general medical condition of the patient. Twelve hours later respiratory insufficiency developed and the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit due to the deteriorated arterial blood gas measurements. Despite mechanical ventilation, no improvement on the arterial blood gas levels was achieved and the patient died.

Özet

Duchenne musküler distrofisi bulunan 26 yaşındaki erkek hasta ani başlayan dispne ve sırt ağrısıyla başvurdu. Hastaya başka bir merkezde sol pnömotoraks tanısı konmuştu. Merkezimizde çekilen göğüs grafisinde solda total pnömotoraks saptandı ve mediastenin sağa kaydığı görüldü. Uygulanan tüp torakostomiye karşın sol akciğerde ekspansiyon sağlanamadı. Hastanın genel durumunun uygun olmaması nedeniyle rijit bronkoskopi yapılamadı. On iki saat sonra hastada solunum yetmezliği başladı, arteryel kan gazı değerleri bozulunca hasta yoğun bakım ünitesine alındı. Mekanik ventilasyona karşın kan gazları düzelmeyen hasta kaybedildi.
