Thoracoscopic Management of Recurrent Pneumothorax in an Adult Patient with Cri du Chat Syndrome and Severe Scoliosis: A Case Report

Introduction

Cri du chat syndrome (CdCS) is a rare genetic disorder that can be associated with scoliosis and marked thoracic deformity. Although scoliosis has been reported to be associated with an increased incidence of pneumothorax, reports of pneumothorax surgery in patients with severe scoliosis associated with CdCS are extremely rare. Herein, we report a case of recurrent pneumothorax in an adult patient with CdCS associated with severe scoliosis who was successfully treated by thoracoscopic surgery.
