[A case of spontaneous pneumothorax in pregnancy].

Spontaneous pneumothorax rarely happened in woman compared to man generally. Furthermore, it is said that spontaneous pneumothorax in the pregnancy is very rare. We experienced a case of spontaneous pneumothorax in 32 weeks gestation. She complains chest pain and dyspnea in hospital because of medication to urgent premature. Throcar catheter has been placed after delivery. Video assisted thoracoscopic bullectomy was performed on the next day of the delivery and discharged 5 days after operation. Treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax in pregnancy was believed to be difficult, but she delivered safely because of being under the tube drainage. We believed that the tube drainage during pregnancy or the operation were recommended for these cases because of security of mother and embryo.
