Discussion:

A young male with left-sided chest wall trauma complained of difficulty in breathing. Radiography revealed left-sided rib fracture ( not uploaded, no copyright ). Ultrasound was requested to check for hemothorax. Grayscale M mode ultrasound shows left-sided pneumothorax in a supine position. There is normal lung sliding on the right side. There was no hemothorax on the left side.
