Adult pulmonary sequestration: a hidden cause of recurrent hemoptysis (case report).

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation where abnormal lung tissue lacks a connection to the airways and receives blood supply from systemic arteries. This case report describes a 30-year-old man with recurrent hemoptysis diagnosed with intralobar PS (ILS) as the cause. He underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to clip and section the aberrant artery, resulting in a successful outcome with no further bleeding.

Atypical emphysema formation in a never-smoker with scleroderma-related interstitial pneumonia: a case report.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder which is characterized by fibrosis of visceral organs, blood vessels and skin. The most common manifestations of lung disease in systemic sclerosis are interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension and, together, are the leading cause of mortality in systemic sclerosis. Recently, we notice a new pattern called Combined-pulmonary emphysema and lung fibrosis.

Unusual case of spontaneous hemopneumothorax in a Tunisian pulmonology department: a case report.

Spontaneous hemopneumothorax is a rare encountered entity in clinical practice. It can be life threatening, so a prompt diagnosis and therapeutic intervention are required. We report a case of a right spontaneous hemopneumothorax in a 31-year-old man, complicated with hemorrhagic shock.

Airway management: induced tension pneumoperitoneum.

Pneumoperitoneum is not always associated with hollow viscus perforation. Such condition is called non-surgical or spontaneous pneumoperitoneum. Intrathoracic causes remain the most frequently reported mechanism inducing this potentially life threatening complication.
