ABSTRACT

El pseudoquiste pulmonar secundario a trauma cerrado de tórax es una lesión cavitaria rara en el parénquima del pulmón, que carece de revestimiento epitelial. Es más frecuente en niños y adolescentes cuya pared torácica es menos rígida. Las manifestaciones clínicas son usualmente benignas y se resuelve espontáneamente en dos a cuatro meses después del trauma. Presentamos la evolución de un niño con un trauma cerrado de tórax en calidad de peatón, luego del cual apareció una lesión quística poco sintomática en el parénquima pulmonar, que se resolvió espontáneamente.


Pulmonary pseudocyst secondary to blunt chest trauma is a rare cavitary lesion in the lung parenchyma that lacks an epithelial lining. It is more common in children and adolescents in whom the chest wall is less rigid. Clinical manifestations are usually benign and resolve spontaneously in two to four months after the trauma. We present the evolution of a child who suffered a closed chest trauma as a pedestrian, after which a cystic lesion appeared in the lung parenchyma, without very obvious symptoms; subsequently the cystic image resolved when he was already asymptomatic.
