(Collapsed Lung) A pneumothorax
(noo-mo-THOR-acks) is a collapsed lung due to
air accumulating inside the chest
cavity. Pneumothorax occurs when air leaks into
the space between the lungs and chest wall which
pushes on the outside of the lung and makes it
collapse. In most cases, only a portion of the
lung collapses. A pneumothorax can be caused by a
blunt or penetrating chest injury, certain
medical procedures involving the lungs or due to
underlying lung disease. Sometimes, pneumothorax
occurs for no obvious reason. When the lung
collapses, it causes sudden chest pain and
shortness of breath. A small, uncomplicated
pneumothorax may quickly heal on its own. When
the pneumothorax is larger, doctors usually
insert a tube or needle between ribs to remove
the excess air. Symptoms of Pneumothorax Causes
