“…The incidence of pulmonary torsion after pulmonary resection has been reported as 0.089%–0.3% [ 3–6 ]. The pulmonary torsion after nonpulmonary thoracotomy is extremely rare [ 2 , 7 ].…”

“…also reviewed the literature of pulmonary torsions [ 2 ]. Except for pulmonary resection, thoracic trauma and lung transplantation, there are only 19 cases of pulmonary torsion after nonpulmonary thoracotomy (esophageal cancer in seven, other esophageal diseases in six, congenital heart diseases in two, aortic dissection in two and mediastinal tumor in two patients) [ 2 , 7 ]. To our knowledge, this is the first report of pulmonary torsion after resuscitative thoracotomy.…”

We report a rare case of pulmonary torsion after nonpulmonary thoracotomy. A 38-year-old woman with schizophrenia committed suicide by a self-infliction of sharp force into the chest and abdomen. During emergent abdominal damage control surgery, a left-sided resuscitative thoracostomy was also performed due to hemorrhagic shock. Although abnormal shadow was detected on postoperative chest roentgenogram and computed tomography, the diagnosis of pulmonary torsion was delayed. Seven days after initial surgery, pulmonary torsion was diagnosed and managed by left upper lobectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first report of pulmonary torsion after resuscitative thoracotomy.

“…Middle-lobe (ML) torsion most commonly occurs as a complication of lung resection, often after right upper lobectomy. 1 Nonpulmonary thoracic surgery, large pneumothorax, and thoracic trauma have also been shown to cause a small percentage of cases. 2 , 3 , 4 True spontaneous right lung ML torsion is very rare, comprising less than 5% of all cases of pulmonary torsion.…”
