Abstract
A 49-year-old man with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome developed acute respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation. Chest computed tomography demonstrated giant right bulla extending into the contralateral hemithorax with mediastinal shift. Surgical bullectomy with pleurodesis relieved tension effects and allowed weaning.
