Abstract

Pulmonary hernia is a protrusion of lung tissue through a defect in the chest wall. Its origin can be congenital or acquired; spontaneous presentation is the least frequent. We report a case of spontaneous intercostal pulmonary hernia with a brief description of the disease. In this case, the patient developed a hematoma in the left hemithorax associated to pain at the base of the left hemithorax after a Valsalva's maneuver. The images obtained by thoracic CT scan revealed the existence of a left intercostal hernia. After radiological diagnosis, surgical treatment of the defect was performed with good results.
