Spontaneous intercostal herniation of lung and pleural fluid

Thoracic hernias are characterized by the protrusion of the thoracic contents outside their normal anatomical confines. This case involves a left pleural effusion secondary to a spontaneous lung intercostal hernia (SLIH) in a 52-year-old male. Imaging revealed herniated pleural fluid in the intercos...

Sumario:Thoracic hernias are characterized by the protrusion of the thoracic contents outside their normal anatomical confines. This case involves a left pleural effusion secondary to a spontaneous lung intercostal hernia (SLIH) in a 52-year-old male. Imaging revealed herniated pleural fluid in the intercostal space. Intra-operatively, there was herniation of the lung parenchyma into an intercostal defect. Pleural effusion secondary to a SLIH is an indication for surgical repair.
