Case Discussion
31 mm left apical pneumothorax managed conservatively. Patient was stable with no oxygen requirements. Pain was well managed and the patient was able to breathe deeply and cough. Discharged on day 3 after injury and reviewed in outpatient clinic 1 week later with repeat CXR demonstrating complete resolution of pneumothorax.
