Abstract

Giriş: Şüpheli pnömotoraksın ultrasonografi ile değerlendirilmesi
acil servis bölümlerinde yapılan rutin bir işlemdir. Ultrasonografi
pnömotoraksın tespit edilmesinde oldukça duyarlıdır, ancak bazı
yanlış-pozitif sonuçlar vermektedir.
Olgu sunumu: Bu olgu sunumunda, rutin yatak başı torasik
ultrasonografide pnömotoraks olarak yanlış değerlendirilen
akalazyası olan 60 yaşındaki bir erkek hastayı sunmaktayız.
Sonuç: Akalazya, pnömotoraksın yatak başı ultrasonografi ile elde
edilen yanlış-pozitif sonuçlarının nadir bir nedenidir.

Abstract

Introduction: Evaluation of a suspected pneumothorax by ultrasonography is a routine procedure in emergency departments. Ultrasonography is highly sensitive for the detection of a pneumothorax and yet has some false-positive results. Case Report: In this case report, we present a 60-year-old man with achalasia that was misinterpreted as a pneumothorax in routine bedside thoracic ultrasonography.Conclusion: Achalasia is a rare cause of false-positive reports of pneumothorax by bedside ultrasonography
