ABSTRACT
Pneumothorax is one of the most frequent entities
in lung trauma with potential lethal effects.
Occult pneumothorax is the presence of a missed
pneumothorax by thoracic x-ray, but diagnosed
by ultrasound or tomography. Its epidemiology
has changed, with an increased incidence of 78%.
Adverse conditions in trauma care increases this
incidence. Ultrasound is an effective and timely
method for the diagnosis of occult pneumothorax,
especially in the primary assessment of the
unstable patient. The forefront of sensitivity and
specificity belongs to the tomography, when in
doubt and when hemodynamic stability is reached,
this is the preferred diagnostic method. Occult
pneumothorax treatment has been controversial.
The expectant management has proven efficient;
however patients on mechanical ventilation will
require chest tube insertion. The clinician must
consider tomographic classification in order to
take an early and timely treatment decision.
