“…Different types of lung lacerations, probably reflecting different pathogenetic mechanisms, have been recognized here, often coexisting in the same patient or lobe [ 5 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]. Type 1 and Type 3 were found more frequently in the population of this study.…”

“…[10] Some studies determined that TPP complications developed between 1 and 9 days (especially within 5 days) after trauma; therefore, close follow-up is necessary for the first 5 days for possible complications.

“…Particularly in infants, single or multiple well-demarcated cystic air collections can develop as a complication of mechanical ventilation. [6] Some studies have explained that the reason for the higher frequency of TPPs in younger age groups is that the chest walls of younger patients are more compliant and permit greater transmission of impact to the lungs. [6] In our series, most of the patients (86%) were in the younger age group (≤30 years), but the other two cases were 41 and 89 years old.…”
