👉 A pleurocele is a type of neurotomy (or "bone deformity") in which bone tissue is displaced or removed from the surrounding soft tissues, often resulting from injuries such as fractures. The pleurocele can be caused by a variety of factors including sports injuries, trauma, or chronic inflammation. It's important to seek medical attention immediately if you notice any symptoms related to a pleurocele, such as pain, swelling, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate serious complications.
