Pneumothorax is the most common air-leak syndrome resulting in significant morbidity and mortality in neonates. It can develop spontaneously, as well as it can be seen as a result of a predisposing factor or a pulmonary problem. Treatment of the cases with pneumothorax depends on the clinical condition. Small, asymptomatic cases with pneumothorax resolve spontaneously, although symptomatic and clinically deteriorated cases should be drained. We presented a case of a newborn with a significant pneumothorax, who was clinically and hemodynamically stable under treatment with administration of oxygen with hood, without any surgical intervention although he had symptoms of respiratory distress.
