Abstract
T HE AUTHORS recently anesthetized a patient who experienced dyspnea caused by tracheal compression 50 years after surgical creation of an oleothorax. A Clagett procedure was performed to facilitate continuous drainage from the cavity. Because of the unique etiology of her problem, the management differed from that usually recommended for a variable intrathoracic airway obstruction, and the case is presented.
