초록

Pneumatocele (PC) is a thin-walled cyst of the lung that can occur at all ages and with various etiologies. However, there is no fully accepted consensus for the management of PC in a neonatal intensive care unit. Although the management of PC is generally expectant, it is difficult to decide how long conservative management should be maintained, especially under Korea's medical care environment and the parents' worry and anxiety. We report a male neonate, born at $27^{+5}weeks$ gestation, weighing 1,000 g, who had a post infectious PC caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sepsis. We treated conservatively for about 100 days (roughly 14 weeks), but unfortunately after a few days of chest retraction, acute exacerbation occurred, video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was deemed necessary and performed. The purpose of this publication is to describe the clinical course, aggravation and relief after VATS management with a review of the literature.
