Abstract
Thoracic computed tomography was performed in 32 patients who had undergone thoracoplasty as part of their treatment for pulmonary tuberculosis. Pleural thickening and the prevalence of bronchiectasis were more marked in the operated hemithorax. Bullae were more prevalent in the operated hemithorax but the difference was not statistically significant. In all but one patient, scoliosis was present. Illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the range of appearances following this operation.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
