Lobar torsion is an extremely rare complication after elective lung surgery. Rotation of the bronchovascular pedicle results in airway obstruction and vascular compromise with lobar ischemia and pulmonary infarction. Rapid reoperation with untwisting of the pedicle is usually proposed. We report a case of an upper lobe torsion occurring at postoperative day one after a full thoracoscopic combined middle lobectomy and S6 segmentectomy. Lung detorsion resulted in a fatal cerebral infarction.
