A 46-year-old woman underwent a right thyroidectomy with left neck dissection under general anesthesia. The operation was performed successfully for over the course of 3 hours 30 minutes. After extubation, the patient was transferred to post-anesthetic care unit (PACU). After 10 minutes, dyspnea, chest discomfort, desaturation was suddenly occurred. Intubation was performed in PACU. The emergency chest X-ray revealed a right pneumothorax, and the patient was treated by chest tube insertion. The patient was improved and was discharged uneventfully from hospital 8 days later.

“…Pneumothorax is a complication that can occur during general anesthesia, mid- or post-surgery. It can occur from thoracic damage or alveolar ruptures due to high positive airway pressure [ 1 ]. It can also lead to damage of the neck, trachea, throat, esophageal wall, and the abdominal wall, although this is infrequent [ 2 ].…”

“…A delayed pneumothorax, presumably caused by a slow pleural air leak, is a poorly recognized complication that can occur hours or days after central venous catheterization. 3,4) The overall reported incidence 3,5) of delayed pneumothorax is 0.4 to 0.6% of all central venous access attempts. Pneumothorax is much more common following a subclavian rather than a jugular approach, and generally associated with difficult or multiple approaches.…”

Pneumothorax is one of the most frequent complications of percutaneous central venous catheterization. Most significant pneumothoraces are easily detected on postcatheterization chest radiograph. However, we report a rare case of delayed tension pneumothorax detected 4 days after unsuccessful central venous catheterization via the infraclavicular subclavian vein, although initial postcatheterization and postoperative supine chest radiographs showed no active lesion.
