Reexpansion pulmonary edema after hepatic hydatid cyst excision

Reexpansion pulmonary edema (RPE) is a rare but well-known complication after thoracocentesis [1]. It usually follows reexpansion of the collapsed lung from pneumothorax or pleural effusion [2]. RPE may be very severe at times and may require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support for management [3]. We are reporting a case of unilateral pulmonary edema in an elderly who had a huge hydatid cyst of liver causing collapse of predominantly lower lobe of the right lung.
