An Atypic Presentation Of Spontaneous Hemopneumothorax: A Case Report

Abstract

Spontaneous pneumothorax generally takes diagnosis with general symptoms such as chest pain and dyspnea. However, it may rarely exist with atypical and misleading symptoms. Furthermore, it may turn into hemopneumothorax uncommonly. In time, correct diagnosis of these patients establishes vital importance in the emergency department. In this report, we aimed to present a spontaneous hemopneumothorax case arriving to the emergency department with atypical symptoms mimicking conversion disorder.
