Rationale: Arthroscopic shoulder surgery (ASS) is a low mortality and morbidity procedure, but anesthetic complications are reported. There have been no reports of combined chest wall swelling and pneumothorax after ASS.
Patient Concerns: The patient's right lung was severely collapsed and the mediastinum was deviated after ASS.
Diagnosis: Pneumothorax on right chest.
Interventions: A chest tube was inserted and oxygen therapy was performed.
Outcomes: The patient was discharged uneventfully.
Lessons: Elective ASS has low mortality and morbidity rates, but we should be more concerned over the complications after ASS.
