Se presenta un caso de fístula bronco-pleuro-subaracnoidea que provoca un neumoencéfalo a tensión, tras realizar a un enfermo una lobectomía superior izquierda por carcinoma pulmonar anaplásico de células grandes. Se revisa la literatura y se discuten los diversos aspectos diagnósticos y terapéuticos de esta tan poco frecuente complicación en el tratamiento quirúrgico del carcinoma pulmonar.

The authors describe a case of subarachnoid bronchopleural fístula which provoked pressure pneumoencephaly in a patient who had undergone upper left lobectomy for large cell anaplasic carcinoma of the lung. The literature is reviewed and the different diagnostic and therapeutic features of this infrequent complication of surgical treatment of carcinoma of the lung are discussed.
