Unusual case of primary spontaneous hemopneumothorax in a young man with atypical tension pneumothorax: a case report

ConclusionsThe successful treatment of a large spontaneous hemopneumothorax depends on early recognition, proactive intervention, and early consideration by a cardiothoracic surgeon. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, early thoracotomy should be considered. Such an aggressive surgery not only leads to shorter hospitalization but also confers better long-term outcomes.
