Traumatic pneumatocele is rare. It usually regresses spontaneously with conservative treatment. In rare cases, it can get complicated and surgical intervention may be necessary. A 21 year old male patient was taken to the hospital following a fall on an object with a sharp tip. His vital signs were stable. On X-ray and chest-CT he had a
pneumatocele area including the injury tract and a low percentage pneumothorax in the right lung. The patient was hospitalized for follow-up and was treated conservatively. After 3 days, he was discharged without any complication.
