  • Title: [A case of bilateral pneumothorax successfully treated with surgery associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis having been controlled with artificial ventilation].
    Author: Morita H, Gotoh N, Yoshimura H.
    Journal: Kyobu Geka; 1997 Jun; 50(6):511-3. PubMed ID: 9185453.
    Abstract:
    We reported a case of bilateral pneumothorax, which was successfully treated with surgery, associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The patient had been controlled with artificial ventilation at the time of surgery. Prognosis of ALS is absolutely poor, and the life expectancies for patients with ALS are presumed several years, even though they are controlled with artificial ventilation. We applied a surgical treatment for a patient with ALS who developed bilateral pneumothorax as a life saving procedure.
