Abstract

Lung hernia is a rare occurrence. Consequently there is little literature providing guidance to effective management. Classified as congenital or acquired, there are fewer than 300 cases described in current literature (1). We describe a unique method for the management of spontaneous rib fractures and, resulting posterior lung herniation in a 65 year old man following a bout of coughing.
