Abstract
Alexander the Great always fought on the front line, according to the Homeric war model. So it is not surprising that everywhere on his body there were wounds. During the siege of Malles he acquired the most dangerous of them, which almost cost his life. It involved wedging an arrow in the chest near the heart. The most serious complication of the injury was pneumothorax, for the presence of which there are conflicting opinions. This article summarizes mainly the pulmonary lung problems that may have arisen and their management by the medical staff of the expeditionary force.
