ABSTRACT

The authors review and summarise all the 5 cases of spontaneous hemothorax and hemopneumothorax admitted at the Pneumology ward of H.S. João between 1983 and 1995, and comment those situations where an underling disease could be implicated. We found 1 case of neuroepithelioma, 1 case of pleural adhesions and 1 case of pulmonary bullae. The other 2 cases were considered as idiopathic. All patients underwent thoracostomy tube drainage and only one needed blood transfusion. The follow-up period ranged from 6 months to 3 years and recurrences were never observed. Sequela were not registered and all patients stay asymptomatic since the resolution of the hemothorax or hemopneumothorax.
