Lung torsion is a life-threatening pathology when the lung or a pulmonary lobe rotates, causing vascular and airway obstruction. This rare pathology occurs when there is a disturbance in the thoracic cavity. To avoid high mortality, this must be diagnosed promptly. With immediate management, the affected lung or pulmonary lobe can be salvaged. Overall, however, lung torsion has a poor prognosis due to misdiagnosis and delay in treatment. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of lung torsion.
