case_images: The current medical order was to place a nasoenteric tube for enteral nutrition. preplacement chest X-ray was taken prior to the procedure at 16:36 (Fig. 1A) showed no obvious pneumothorax. However, the post-placement chest x-ray at 21:27 (Fig. 1B) indicated a right pneumothorax with approximately 30% lung compression. A follow-up bedside chest X-ray at 23:15 (Fig. 1C) showed worsening pneumothorax, with 40% to 45% lung compression. A chest X-ray performed 4 days later at 19:29 (Fig. 1D) confirmed resolution of the pneumothorax and repositioning of the central venous catheter. Further imaging with chest CT (Fig. 1E) provided detailed confirmation of these findings.
