Abstract: Hydatid disease is common in Turkey. Tension pneumothorax is rare, but it is an important complication of the hydatid cyst with significant morbidity and mortality. Tension hydropneumothorax secondary to the rupture of a hydatid cyst was detected in 5 of 185 spontaneous pneumothorax cases that were treated in the authors’ clinic between 1992 and 1998. All patients were subjected to surgical treatment after urgent tube thoracostomy. No mortality or recurrence was observed at follow-ups of 9 to 24 months.
