    AbstractPneumothorax is a rare but recognized cause of respiratory distress in the newborn. It can occur spontaneously or post-traumatic. We report our experience in a term male neonate who had primary spontaneous pneumothorax. He had no surgical intervention but completely recovered with conservative management and supplemental oxygen.© 2022 Adekoya AO et al.
