Lobar or segmental lung torsion is a severe complication of lung resection. To the best of our knowledge, common basal pyramid torsion has never been reported. We describe a case of left basal pyramid torsion after left upper lobectomy and superior segmentectomy, which was successfully treated by thoracoscopic surgery.
Keywords: Angioplasty; lung neoplasms; pneumonectomy; postoperative complications; reoperation; torsion abnormality.
