Abstract

Simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition, particularly in young adults. We present a case report of a [specify age]-year-old otherwise healthy young adult who presented to the emergency department with acute-onset dyspnea and chest pain. Upon evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax, confirmed by chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan. Prompt insertion of bilateral chest tubes resulted in lung re-expansion and symptomatic relief. The patient's medical history, diagnostic findings, and treatment course are described in detail. This case report emphasizes the importance of considering simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax as a differential diagnosis in young adults presenting with acute respiratory distress. Early recognition and appropriate management are crucial in achieving favorable outcomes for patients with this rare condition.
