Mediastinal pneumatosis refers to the infiltration of local soft tissue, that is, the liquid slowly penetrates into the soft tissue, the abnormal cells are immersed in the human tissue, or the body cells that should not appear under normal circumstances appear, and some pathological tissues expand to the surrounding. Excessive accumulation of abnormal substances or original substances in cells or stroma is also called infiltration. Some degeneration or deposition is also called infiltration.

Pneumothorax often occurs in young people, especially in thin men, which is called idiopathic pneumothorax; Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs in the elderly over 60 years old, most of which are secondary to chronic lung diseases such as lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Pneumothorax patients with pain can also occur in patients with chest, armpit and other parts. In addition to clinical symptoms, the current judgment of pneumothorax disease is mainly X-ray, if X-ray shows normal, general patients will not have pneumothorax disease.

matters needing attention

Pneumothorax patients in some patients with mild condition, do not need surgical treatment, but need to rest in bed, as little as possible to speak, so that lung activity is reduced, conducive to gas absorption. If it is more serious, it can be treated by surgery, which is the best way to prevent recurrence.
