폐조직과 흉막의 흉곽의 결손 부위를 통한 돌출로 정의되는 폐탈장은 선천성 또는 후천적일수도 있으며 부위별로 경부, 흉부, 횡경막 탈장이 있다. 8개월된 남아가 4개월간의 지속적인 기침과 흉부 방사선 촬영에서 폐우하엽의 지속적인 음영 증가소견 있어 시행한 흉부 전산화 단층촬영에서 azygoesophageal recess를 통한 폐탈장이 관찰되었다. 아직까지 보고된 적이 없는 azygoesophageal recess를 통한 폐탈장이 저자들에 관찰하게 되어 보고하는 바이다.

Background: The surgical treatment of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) can be complicated by fragile lung parenchyma. The preoperative prediction of air leakage could help prevent intraoperative lung injury during manipulation of the lung. Common sites of bulla development and ruptured bullae were investigated based on computed tomography (CT) and intraoperative findings. Methods: The study enrolled 208 patients with SSP who underwent air leak control through video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). We retrospectively reviewed the sites of bulla development on preoperative CT and the rupture sites during VATS. Results: Of the 135 cases of right-sided SSP, the most common rupture site was the apical segment (31.9%), followed by the azygoesophageal recess (27.4%). Of the 75 cases on the left side, the most common rupture site was the apical segment (24.0%), followed by the anterior basal segment (17.3%). Conclusion: The azygoesophageal recess and parenchyma along the cardiac border were common sites of bulla development and rupture. Studies of respiratory lung motion to measure the pleural pressure at the lung surface could help to determine the relationship between cardiogenic and diaphragmatic movement and bulla formation or rupture.
