Recurrent Haemothorax Secondary to the Aberrant Vessel and Rib Bone Spurs: Coincidence or Correlation? A Case Report

Abstract

There are reports of spontaneous or recurrent haemothorax, in which an aberrant vessel or rib spur is the cause. We report a case of 13 years old male who presented twice with spontaneous haemothorax which bleeding from an aberrant vessel was the apparent cause on the first encounter and was later found to have a rib spur. He underwent left VATS procedure which was well tolerated without any complications.
