Pneumothorax Extrapleural

Extrapleural pneumothorax is a condition in which air accumulates in the space between the chest wall and the parietal pleura.

Reasons for development:

1. Chest injury with damage to the lung, but without compromising the integrity of the pleura. Air from the lung enters the extrapleural space.

2. Spontaneous lung injury in patients with emphysema or pulmonary fibrosis.

3. Iatrogenic causes - complications after operations, lung biopsy, mechanical ventilation.

Symptoms:

1. Chest pain
2. Dyspnea
3. Decreased chest excursion on the affected side

Diagnostics:

1. X-ray of the chest organs
2. CT chest

Treatment:

1. Chest puncture with air removal
2. Drainage of the pleural cavity if necessary
3. Treatment of underlying lung disease

Prognosis: with timely treatment - favorable.

Pneumotocrax extrapleural

Pneumothorax is an accumulation of air in the pleural cavity. It may be associated with the respiratory tract or occur for no apparent reason. If we are talking about pulmonary pneumothorax, then the accumulation occupies more than a third of the volume of the diaphragm and causes a noticeable displacement of the mediastinum. Extrapleural air penetration can occur due to trauma to the chest, armpit, or back. Pneumotarax occurs due to placental breakdown or abdominal ascites. As for retropleural pneumothorax, this condition is not so noticeable. At the same time they squeezed
