Abstract

65 year-old man, admitted in ICU post cardiac surgery. Pleural drains removed in postoperative. Chest radiography showed bilateral pneumothorax, apparently extensive, needing drainage, with no clinical correlation. Exam repeated in better technical conditions eliminating skin folds: it confirms small pneumothorax with no need of pleural drainage, avoiding an invasive technique.
