Abstract

This article underscores the critical importance of thorough physical examinations and the need to investigate secondary causes in cases of refractory pneumothorax. The identification of hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) as the underlying condition highlights the necessity of considering rare etiologies, particularly in atypical presentations. While exostoses typically affect long bones, they can also involve the ribs and scapulae, leading to complications such as pneumothorax. In pediatric patients, where multiple symptoms may arise from a single condition, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective management.

气胸是多发性外骨质增生的首发症状。

本文强调了对难治性气胸患者进行全面体格检查和调查继发性病因的重要性。遗传性多发性外生骨赘（HME）被确定为潜在病因，这突出了考虑罕见病因的必要性，尤其是在非典型病例中。虽然外生骨瘤通常会影响长骨，但也会累及肋骨和肩胛骨，从而导致气胸等并发症。对于儿科患者来说，单一病症可能会引发多种症状，因此采用多学科方法进行准确诊断和有效治疗至关重要。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases. PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
