Abstract

A delayed bilateral pneumothorax complicated unilateral left subclavian vein catheterization and required treatment with tube thoracostomy. This case is unique in the demonstration that bilateral pneumothorax can present in a delayed fashion, and that, as a result of a previously formed pleuropleural fistula, it can occur in patients with a history of noncardiac surgery involving median sternotomy. Historical data on delayed pneumothoraces and bilateral pneumothoraces are presented.
