(A) Chest X-ray (anteroposterior projection) performed on day 24 from the admission showed bilateral peripheral opacities (blue arrow) and a right upper pneumothorax (white arrow). Endotracheal tube (green arrow) and left internal jugular central venous access with distal end at the level of the superior vena cava (SVC) (yellow arrow)are well placed. (B) CT scan on sagittal and trasverse planes images shows confirmed a right upper-anterior pneumothorax with partial collapse of the right upper lobe (yellow arrows) associated with mild right posterior pleural effusion (red arrows). (C) Chest X-ray with single anteroposterior projection scan obtained on day 26, after positioning of inferior right pleural drainage (yellow arrow), shows resolution of pneumothorax with riexpansion of the right lung (blue arrow).
