[Pneumothorax in pregnancy. Apropos of 3 cases].

We report 3 cases of pneumothorax developed during pregnancy and we compare them with the 16 cases previously published. We insist on the late occurrence of pneumothorax during pregnancy and on the possibility of vaginal delivery. Data from literature and our own experience incline us to believe that pneumothorax is not rare during pregnancy but is often misdiagnosed or unreported.

Pseudomonas thoracic empyema secondary to nosocomial rhinosinusitis.

Three cases of Pseudomonas thoracic empyema occurring in nasotracheally intubated patients are reported. Paranasal rhinosinusitis, a well documented complication of prolonged nasotracheal intubation, could be the primary infectious location. Massive respiratory tract colonization leads to extensive necrotizing pulmonary lesions. Failure of diagnosis and treatment of sinus involvement could be responsible for persistent or recurrent pleural empyema. Treatment includes continuous pleural drainage, sinusitis treatment and antibiotics. This complication should be considered in the choice between early tracheostomy and prolonged nasotracheal intubation in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients.
