Abstract

We report a 75-year old female patient with advanced emphysema. After endoscopic lung volume reduction with endobronchial valves (EBV), a huge pneumatocele has occured and resolved spontaneously within a few weeks. Albeit rare, pneumatoceles should be considered in patients with relapsing dyspnoe after EBV treatment.
