case_images: Chest radiography and computed tomography (CT) were performed, which led to a diagnosis of right pyothorax (Figures 1 and 2) in addition to septic shock.
case_images: Computed tomography at admission. Computed tomography scans show fluid collection in the right thoracic cavity.

case_images: Chest radiography and computed tomography (CT) were performed, which led to a diagnosis of right pyothorax (Figures 1 and 2) in addition to septic shock.
case_images: Patient's clinical course. The patient's clinical course during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is shown. His PaO2/FiO2 ratio was not favourable throughout ECMO, but his level of consciousness and circulatory dynamics were maintained.

case_images: The patient's clinical course during ECMO is shown in Figure 3.
case_images: Adherent omental flap. The patient's omental flap is shown to be adherent on day 34 of hospitalisation.

case_images: The air leak was resolved after surgery, and the omental flap became adherent (Figure 4).
case_images: Postoperative computed tomography on day 61 of hospitalisation. Computed tomography scans obtained on day 61 show that the omental flap was viable, and that the abscess had disappeared.

case_images: fig5
case_images: CT performed on day 61 revealed the disappearance of the abscess and viability of the omental flap (Figure 5).
case_images: Computed tomography on day 95 of hospitalisation. Improved air flow is observed in the right lung. However, a left pneumothorax is also observed.

case_images: fig6
case_images: On day 95, the patient was weaned from the ventilator, and CT revealed a left pneumothorax that did not affect his respiratory status (Figure 6).
