Abstract
In our paper we describe a case of a 70 years old patient who was examined and treated for an accidentally diagnosed pneumothorax. The treatment including drain-age with active sucking was almost ineffective, therefore thoracoscopy was performed during which a large bulla was diagnosed and treated.
The discussion is focused on the etiology and therapeutical options in pulmonary bullous disease.
