Abstract/OtherAbstract:
One case of unilateral pulmonary oedema a vacuo is reported and the 38 cases published in the literature are reviewed. Contributing factors are essential, the main ones being the duration and severity of lung collapse and the rate of reexpansion. The clinical signs and symptoms are described, together with the various possible courses of the disease, and the severity factors are deduced from 8 lethal cases. A therapeutic approach is proposed but not formalised, since pathophysiological data are still scarce.
