• BackgroundPenetrating chest trauma that is associated with pulmonary injuries can trigger different sequelae, the most frequent being the presence of contusions or pulmonary lacerations that are accompanied by hemopneumothorax. Materials and methodsDescription of a clinical case of interest and review of the literature on the topic. ResultsIn this study, we present an unusual consequence of this type of trauma, a pulmonary infarction secondary to an extensive pulmonary venous thrombosis stemming from a firearm injury. This finding associated with lung tissue necrosis led to the need for right upper pulmonary bilobectomy. ConclusionsThe aim of this study is to understand this unusual form of presentation of pulmonary trauma, understand the pathophysiology that triggers lung injury, review the medical literature on the subject, and expand the general knowledge on this topic. Study typeTherapeutic/care management.
