Dr. Binoy Kumar Behera, Dr. Jatin. G. Bhatt, Dr. J. G. Vagadia
Abstract: Tuberculosis, although an ancient disease, affecting humans for millennia; continues to present in atypical ways. Whilst the development of bullous lung disease in patients suffering from Pulmonary Tuberculosis, has been reported, it remains an extremely rare phenomenon. The present report describes a case of emphysematous bullae post pulmonary tubercular treatment in a 18 years old female that occupied the left hemi lung with mediastinal compression of the right lung. The patient underwent a left sided postero - lateral thoracotomy with lung volume reduction surgery. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
Keywords: Bullous lung disease, Pulmonary tuberculosis, Post tuberculosis sequelae, lung volume reduction surgery
