Emphysema Paraseptal

Pulmonary emphysema is a disease characterized by dilation of the alveoli and destruction of the walls of the pulmonary vesicles. Paraseptal emphysema is one of the forms of this disease, which manifests itself in the paraseptal region of the lungs.

Paraseptal emphysema occurs as a result of destruction of the walls of the alveoli, which leads to an increase in the volume of air in the lungs and a decrease in their function. This can be caused by various reasons such as smoking, inhalation of toxic substances, and also hereditary factors.

Symptoms of paraseptal emphysema may include shortness of breath, cough, chest pain, decreased exercise tolerance, and other symptoms. Treatment for paraseptal emphysema may include medication, surgery, or a combination of these methods.

In general, paraseptal emphysema is a serious disease that requires timely treatment. It is important to understand that smoking is the main cause of this disease and that quitting smoking can significantly reduce the risk of developing paraseptal emphysema.

Paraseptal pulmonary emphysema (e. Pulmonum Paraseptale) - the term is used in Russian literature as a synonym for Periacinar pulmonary emphysema (e. pulmoni periacerinaria). Emphysema of the lung is its alveolar dystrophy, characterized by the formation of cavities and expansion of the lumens of the alveoli in the area of ​​the most superficial pulmonary interalveolar septa. Clinically, this condition usually manifests itself as chronic bronchitis.
