Abstract
Pneumatocoele and pneumothorax are uncommon complications of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. We report a patient with the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome who developed multiple bilateral pneumatocoeles which we demonstrate to have ruptured leading to the subsequent bilateral tension pneumothoraces and to death. The computerised tomographic appearances, and histopathology of these unusual complications are presented. The literature on these manifestations is reviewed and management discussed.
