Pneumatocele Development after Deceased-Donor Liver Transplantation for Multiple Hepatic Cysts due to Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease: A Case Report
We experienced a case of a pneumatocele that developed after deceased-donor liver transplantation for multiple hepatic cysts due to autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Although the mechanisms are speculative, the pneumatocele might have been triggered by the sudden alleviation of the elevated diaphragm and reinflation of the atelectatic lung.
