Spontaneous pulmonary torsion

RM Shorr and A Rodriguez

A patient with systemic manifestations of sepsis after above-knee amputation developed massive left pulmonary atelectasis and pneumonia. These persisted despite repeated bronchoscopies. At thoracotomy, 180 degrees torsion of the left lung was found. The patient improved temporarily but died later of sepsis, probably related to severe hip osteomyelitis.
