Abstract
We present a case of lung injury with pleuropericardial rupture resulting from blunt chest trauma. A conclusive diagnosis and successful treatment was achieved by video-assisted thoracoscopy. The value of diagnostic modalities and the role of video-assisted thoracoscopy in the management of these challenging patients are discussed.Keywords
