This case dives into a noninfectious symptomatic flare of MKS, expanding the clinical understanding of its complications. We explore the pathophysiology of pleuritic pain in this setting and review diagnostic delays, bronchiectasis-related morbidity, and therapeutic strategies. Advances in interventional pulmonology, including airway stenting and tracheobronchoplasty, offer promising outcomes in selected patients. Early identification, structured imaging assessment, and a multidisciplinary approach are key in managing this complex syndrome.
