Abstract

The article describes a case of intraoperative diagnosis of a primary isolated developmental anomaly, cystic
hypoplasia of the upper lobe of the right lung. The patient was operated for pneumothorax on the right, respiratory
failure of the II degree, which developed after drainage of the pleural cavity. Correct diagnosis and
tactics of the operation made it possible to radically eliminate the problem and avoid repeated operations,
despite the late determination of the occurrence of pneumothorax.
