A case of traumatic right lung herniation to an area of anterior costal sternal separation and right hemothorax is presented. Application of a thoracoscopic approach to a traumatic lung hernia of the chest wall in this case is discussed.

Traumatic lung hernia of the chest wall is unusual in pediatric patients. Most acquired traumatic lung hernia occur at the site of injury or on the anterior parasternal chest wall because the external intercostal muscle is absent from the cost cartilaginous junction to the sternum. A five-year-old girl presented with such a hernia after severe blunt trauma to her right torso. A chest radiograph, immediately after the injury and a CT scan showed lung herniation. She was treated surgically by direct repair of the chest wall defect. The recovery proceeded without complications. With early identification and appropriate surgical or video-assisted repair, symptomatic pulmonary hernia can have an excellent prognosis and very low probability of recurrence.

We present the case of an overweight male patient with a lung hernia caused by a single massive coughing attack. The diagnosis could only be verified by CT-scans. Following a conservative therapeutic approach, surgical intervention was necessary. Lung hernias are easy to detect using radiological diagnostic. Standard X-ray examinations where a subcutaneous air mass can be seen have become, since the inauguration of computed tomography, second line tests. Large traumatic lung hernias should be treated surgically. Spontaneous and especially cervical hernias should be handled conservatively and only must be surgically treated when complications or a progression in size should be observed.

Traumatic lung herniation is an unusual clinical problem. We present a case of a large left post-traumatic lung hernia on the left, anterior, second intercostal space following blunt chest trauma. An important factor in the etiology of these lesions is the relative lack of muscular support of the anterior part of the chest. This report describes the diagnosis and management of a post-traumatic lung hernia.

Traumatic lung herniation is a rare condition that is usually treated with thoracotomy and pericostal fixation of adjacent ribs with sutures. We described a traumatic lung herniation case successfully managed with hernia reduction and double-layered repair of the intrathoracic defect, completed via a total thoracoscopic approach.
