Clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts.
Traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPP) are rare complications of blunt chest trauma. The aim of this study is to increase the understanding of this rare entity with imaging and clinical parameters for preventing complications and determining the correct treatment approach by observing 15 cases. ⋯ Sudden shearing force across the pulmonary parenchyma results in an area of pulmonary contusion and airtransfer from the airway to the contused area, which in turn leads to pneumatocele formation. Conservative treatment is recommended for these patients, but complications can occur because of cyst rupture. Patients should be closely monitored and be made aware of the risk of life-threatening complications.
