Key Points

To describe an unexpected detection of a large left-sided pneumothorax during pre-anesthetic assessment in an individual with Marfan syndrome who previously underwent a Bentall procedure.
Conducted a clinical evaluation and pre-anesthetic assessment of an individual with Marfan syndrome and prior aortic root replacement (Bentall procedure).
Assessed thoracic imaging and respiratory status prior to the planned surgical intervention under general anesthesia.
Diagnostic pre-anesthetic screening identified a large, clinically silent left-sided pneumothorax.
The discovery prompted urgent thoracic decompression to prevent tension pneumothorax prior to endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.
