Key Points

  • To explore the safety and outcomes of conservative management in cases of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax.
  • Reported a case of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax
  • Managed the patient conservatively due to minimal symptoms
  • Conducted follow-up imaging to assess recovery
  • Follow-up imaging showed resolution of the pneumothorax
  • No evidence of underlying lung abnormalities or abnormal pleural communications

Abstract

ABSTRACT Bilateral simultaneous spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare occurrence that generally requires prompt intervention. We report a case of simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax. As the patient had minimal symptoms and normal vital signs, he was conservatively managed. Follow‐up imaging showed resolution of the pneumothorax with no evidence of underlying lung abnormality or abnormal pleural communications. This rare case highlights the feasibility and safety of adopting a conservative approach in the management of bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax.
