Spontaneous hyperinflation of a giant bulla of the non-ventilated lung during laparoscopic cholecystectomy under one-lung ventilation: a case report

BACKGROUND: Anesthetic management of non-thoracic surgery in patients with giant bullae is challenging. We present a case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with a giant bulla managed with one-lung ventilation (OLV). CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old man with a giant bulla occupying the low...

description BACKGROUND: Anesthetic management of non-thoracic surgery in patients with giant bullae is challenging. We present a case of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with a giant bulla managed with one-lung ventilation (OLV). CASE PRESENTATION: A 75-year-old man with a giant bulla occupying the lower half of the right hemithorax underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We managed anesthesia with OLV to avoid positive pressure ventilation of the giant bulla. Surgery was completed uneventfully; however, postoperative chest radiography indicated a large lucency occupying the entire right hemithorax. Although we suspected a pneumothorax due to a ruptured bulla, chest computed tomography (CT) led to a diagnosis of giant bulla hyperinflation. The giant bulla deflated gradually to its preoperative size within three postoperative days. CONCLUSIONS: Managing laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a patient with a giant bulla with OLV resulted in spontaneous hyperinflation of the giant bulla. Chest CT ruled out a pneumothorax.
