Abstract
Pneumothorax is the entry of air into the virtual space between the visceral and the parietal pleurae, which can occur spontaneously
or to a greater extent in a traumatic way. In daily clinical practice it is frequent to fnd injuries that generate traumatic pneumothorax
that is ipsilateral to the lesion. However, there are case reports of contralateral pneumothorax that occurred in procedures such as
insertion of pacemakers, or in cases of pneumonectomy. Te following is the case report of a 37-year-old man who was admitted
with a sharp wound to the right paravertebral region who developed a lef haemopneumothorax due to a tangential course of the
injuring agent. Adequate clinical judgment was followed, and several imaging studies were carried out, leading to the diagnosis of
traumatic pneumothorax that was contralateral to the described injury.
