Summary Introduction
To describe:
The mechanism by which a pneumothorax causes a lung to collapse and its effect on the chest cavity.
Introduction:
The pneumothorax is a condition, in which there is a leak between the lung and the chest wall. It is caused by the presence of a hole or puncture in the lungs, which cause the air to leak.
