Abstract
Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare condition characterized by dyspnea due to an extreme mediastinal shift and bronchial compression of the residual lung after a right pneumonectomy or a left pneumonectomy with the right aortic arch, Severe fibrosis of the lung such as tuberculsosis (TB) - destroyed lung can cause similar clinical features in the absence of pneumonectomy. We report a unique case of postpneumonectomy syndrome without pneumonectomy, which was successfully treated with pneumonectomy and mediastinal repositioning with tissue expanders.
