One of the possible injuries that may affect the patient during general anesthesia is known as barotrauma, which originates from a hypertension pneumothorax. This type of trauma may represent a serious risk to the patient if it is not promptly identified and treated. In view of this, the aim of this article is to report a case of hypertension pneumothorax, its diagnosis and treatment, as well to review the literature on this subject.
