Postpneumonectomy syndrome is a rare condition caused by rotational displacement of mediastinum over time after pneumonectomy. Usually, dynamic airway obstruction is the predominant symptom. We report the case of a 40-year-old lady who underwent left pneumonectomy due to mucoepidermoid carcinoma 3 years ago and presented to our department with recalcitrant gastroesophageal reflux symptoms such as heartburn and odynophagia. She also had objective reflux findings in pH monitorization.
