Pneumothorax in pregnancy secondary to ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst.
J Coll Physicians Surg Pak Jan ;22(3):189-91.

Hydatid disease in pregnancy is a rare condition. Ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst with pneumothorax during pregnancy is potentially serious for both the patient and the fetus. Diagnosis, treatment, and the mode of delivery of the infant all present complex problems related to this event. We describe here a case of pneumothorax occurring during pregnancy secondary to ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst with a good outcome for both the mother and the fetus.
