The Tygerberg Forensic Laboratory (Cape Town, South Africa) recently determined the cause the death of a passenger travelling on a commercial airflight to be a tension pneumothorax.
The lesions in the thorax could be clearly seen on their Lodox Statscan and where demonstrated by a left-sided tension pneumothorax, right shift of the mediastinum, depression of the left hemi- diaphragm, and collapse of the left lung - all of which were confirmed by autopsy.
This case was recently reported in The SA Medical Journal by Tiemensma, Buys and Wadee. Please refer to the South African Medical Journal for further information.
