Abstract

A 25-year-old male developed early as well as delayed (15 days post burn) pneumothorax of right side following high voltage, 1100 KV, electrical burn of the right side of the chest wall. Diagnosis was established by clinical examination and chest x-ray. Intercostal tube drainage with underwater seal relieved the patient of pneumothorax.
