Spontaneous Transient Lateral Thoracic Lung Herniation Resulting in Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) and Subsequent Contralateral Lung Injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lung herniation is a relatively rare clinical entity that is most commonly either congenital or acquired traumatically. We describe a case of spontaneous lung herniation secondary to acute cough in an obese male smoker complicated by contralateral acute lung injury and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Mechanisms of lung herniation, classification, diagnosis, and management will be discussed.

Attenuating burn wound inflammatory signaling reduces systemic inflammation and acute lung injury.
The relationship between local inflammation and the subsequent systemic inflammatory response is poorly described. In a burn injury model, the dermal inflammatory response may act as an ongoing trigger for the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and subsequent systemic complications. We hypothesized that topical attenuation of burn wound inflammatory signaling will control the dermal...
متن کاملSystemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome after Massive Extravasation into the Pleural Space of Contrast Medium during Supracostal Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is indicated for renal stones larger than 2 cm and upper ureteral stones not amenable to retrograde management. Supracostal access may enable better access to the entire collecting system and even be preferential in some cases, although having a higher risk of pleural or lung injury, resulting in hydrothorax or pneumothorax. We report a case of a patient who develop...
متن کاملAcute lung injury associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome following subarachnoid hemorrhage: a survey by the Shonan Neurosurgical Association.
Acute lung injury (ALI) associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a systemic complication following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), but the incidence and influence on prognosis are unclear. The incidences of SIRS and ALI were surveyed in a prospective multicenter study of 96 patients admitted for SAH between December 2004 and June 2007. Hunt and Hess grade and Glasgow Out...
متن کاملNOX2 protects against progressive lung injury and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome.
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a common clinical condition in patients in intensive care units that can lead to complications, including multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). MODS carries a high mortality rate, and it is unclear why some patients resolve SIRS, whereas others develop MODS. Although oxidant stress has been implicated in the development of MODS, several re...
متن کاملNeutrophil elastase as a predicting factor for development of acute lung injury.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the development of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) can be predicted by the plasma neutrophil elastase level. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were sequentially enrolled after obtaining informed consent. Twenty-three adult patients with SIRS were classified into the...
