What disease is spontaneous pneumothorax?

summary

Spontaneous pneumothorax generally refers to the gas entering into the pleural cavity, which is the state of gas accumulation, so it is called pneumothorax. Generally, pleural cavity refers to the potential airtight cavity gland without gas between the visceral and parietal pleura, so if there is gas entering into the pleural cavity, it is called pneumothorax, And there is the general pneumothorax can be divided into spontaneous and disease caused pneumothorax, such as surgery, trauma and so on can cause pneumothorax, in fact, even if it is to trauma, some of the lungs.

What disease is spontaneous pneumothorax?

In some diseases, some lung tissues and the pleura in the visceral layer can rupture by themselves, or because of some pulmonary bullae close to the surface of the lung, some smaller pulmonary bullae can rupture by themselves, and some gas in the pulmonary bronchus.

Entering the pleural cavity can also cause pneumothorax, but this is generally called spontaneous pneumothorax. However, the current spontaneous pneumothorax is generally due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and some tuberculosis is the most common,

There are also general spontaneous pneumothorax, which can be divided into secondary pneumothorax and idiopathic pneumothorax. Generally, secondary pneumothorax is caused by some basic lung diseases, such as tuberculosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung abscess, etc,

matters needing attention

Spontaneous pneumothorax generally refers to the gas into the pleural cavity, and then cause the pleural cavity to appear gas accumulation symptoms, so it is called pneumothorax, because there is no gas in the pleural cavity, and it is still a closed room.
