Abstract
A 22-year-old male with cerebral palsy and respiratory failure had acute reversible ST-segment elevation in the inferior leads during acute collapse of the left lung, which resolved with re-expansion of the left lung several hours later. This suggests that major lung actelectasis needs to be added to the group of noncardiac conditions considered when evaluating ST elevation in the critically ill patient.
