title: [Unique monoblock lung right-left, unique pleural cavity].
abstract: A 34-year-old female with WPW syndrome has been under surgical treatment in our clinic with left basal chronic pleural empyema. During the surgical intervention multiple anatomical anomalies were detected, like unique pleural cavity, monoblock lung left-right, hypoplasic left lung, no scissures on the left side, no left pulmonary arteria with an aberrant arteria for the left lung derived from the right pulmonary arteria, the same for the bronchis. The pleural-pulmonary shelling proceeded without incidents and it has been finalized with the drainage of the whole pleural cavity.
