CASE PRESENTATION: A 79 year old female with bronchiectasis presented for evaluation of malaise with diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy. Friable mucosa and thick white secretions were noted and BAL was performed in lingula and RML with 120 ml of normal saline in each lobe. Post-procedure she developed chest pain and dyspnea. Chest x-ray (CXR) showed bilateral pneumothoraces, left more than right. A left-sided 14 Fr chest tube was placed with noted air leak. A repeat CXR showed resolving left pneumothorax but enlargement of right pneumothorax, and a right side 14Fr chest tube was placed. Repeat CXR showed resolution of pneumothoraces. BAL grew mycobacterium avium complex and she was started on antibiotics. DISCUSSION: Pneumothorax post flexible bronchoscopy without transbronchial biopsy occurs rarely, typically in elderly patients with underlying pulmonary disease.1There is association of spontaneous pneumothorax in patients with NTM and low BMI. Research on spontaneous pneumothorax in rats has shown that a malnourished state may weaken the structure of the alveoli or cause structural changes predisposing to rupture at a time of increased intra-thoracic pressure such during cough.2 During BAL there may be increased intra-alveolar pressure from fluid being aspirated, creating local gas trapping, and increase transpulmonary pressures due to cough, especially with wedged bronchoscope.3 CONCLUSIONS: Our patient developed bilateral pneumothoraces after BAL likely due to a combination of factors including underlying NTM disease, weakened alveoli from a malnourished state, and transient increases in intra-alveolar pressures.1-3 Therefore while pneumothorax is considered a rare complication post bronchoscopy with BAL certain populations may be at an increased risk.3 Reference #1: Nicholson, TT et al.
