Classic lung bulla.
A 57-year-old man presented with increasing respiratory distress. Chest radiography (Figure 1) and computed tomography (Figure 2) confirmed the diagnosis of a huge lung bulla. Bullectomy was performed (Figure 3). Subsequently, the remaining lung expanded fully to fill the hemithorax. On follow-up after 7 years, the patient was asymptomatic with fully expanded lung without any bulla. Asian Cardi...

متن کاملSuccessful Treatment of Bulla with Endobronchial Valves
Emphysematous bullae are a complication of end-stage COPD. Patients with large bullae and poor respiratory function have limited treatment options. Surgical resection is a recognized treatment, but functional improvement after bullectomy is not satisfactory in patients with forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) < 35% predicted. When this 59-year-old male end-stage COPD patient was assessed, he...
متن کاملAn anatomic classification of the ethmoidal bulla.
OBJECTIVE The ethmoid bone is arguably the most complex and varied osseous structure in the human body. The partitions within form a unique labyrinth of lamellae and spaces from specimen to specimen or, as in this study, from patient to patient. The surgical anatomy of the ethmoid bone, and the ethmoidal bulla in particular, is ill-defined and heretofore largely unclassified. In an attempt to b...
متن کاملTransthoracic decompression of emphysematous bulla: a novel experience.
Emphysematous bullae are closed air containing spaces in lung parenchyma that may severely compromise lung function in patients of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We describe a simple and minimally invasive procedure to decompress a large emphysematous bullae in a patient with advanced COPD and high surgical risk. Transthoracic decompression of the bulla was accomplished under sho...
