We report a case of
pneumothorax
as a result of positive pressure ventilation in a child previously treated for empyema. Three months following discharge for successful treatment of empyema our patient received a general anesthetic for an elective MRI of the brain for investigation of
nystagmus
. During recovery from the anesthetic he developed respiratory distress and was found to have a loculated
pneumothorax
. We propose that pleural fragility in childhood empyema possibly persists even after clinical resolution and in this case for up to 3 months. The complication of
pneumothorax
should be considered in all patients receiving positive pressure ventilation following resolved empyema.
