title: [Unilateral volume fluctuating expansion of mamma synchronously to respiration is a symptom of pneumothorax].
abstract: Women with breast implants constitute a growing proportion of the female population in Denmark. Thoracic trauma can result in a different pathology and clinical presentation compared with women without breast implants. This case report illustrates an atypical manifestation of pneumothorax in a breast augmented woman who suffered thoracic trauma with communication between the thorax cavity and the space around the implant.
