  • Title: Spontaneous pneumothorax complicating pregnancy--case report and review of the literature.
    Author: Terndrup TE, Bosco SF, McLean ER.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 1989; 7(3):245-8. PubMed ID: 2663970.
    Abstract:
    Patients with a spontaneous pneumothorax frequently present for care in the emergency department. The occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax during parturition occurs rarely. We describe a case of spontaneous pneumothorax during the first trimester of pregnancy, which resolved with tube thoracostomy. The patient delivered vaginally a healthy 4.3 kg male at term under epidural anesthesia. We discuss spontaneous pneumothorax and review reported cases during pregnancy.
