Abstract EN
Lung herniation (LH) is a rare clinical entity involving the protrusion of lung outside the thoracic cage.
It has a variety of etiologies and clinical presentations, making diagnosis difficult.
We present a case of a 20-year-old male who reported pleuritic pain after falling from a skateboard.
Evaluation through computed tomography (CT) scanning of the chest revealed an anterior lung hernia associated with rib fractures.
This case emphasizes the need for clinicians to include lung herniation in the differential diagnosis of patients with trauma and inexplicable or persistent pulmonary issues.
