  • Title: Traumatic subarachnoid-pleural fistula in a child. A case report.
    Author: Salerni AA, Kuivila TE, Drvaric DM, Deutsch SD, Knuckey NW.
    Journal: Clin Orthop Relat Res; 1991 Mar; (264):184-8. PubMed ID: 1997234.
    Abstract:
    A seven-year-old girl sustained a gunshot wound to the chest and spine. Evaluation of a persistent pleural effusion demonstrated a subarachnoid-pleural fistula. Surgical closure of the dural defect resulted in resolution of the fistula. Traumatic subarachnoid-pleural fistulae are rare. The diagnosis is reached by an awareness of fistula formation from penetrating or blunt trauma to the chest.
