Lesson Summary. Pneumothorax is a collapsed lung due to gas in the pleural space of the chest. It can be open (air leaking in from outside via puncture) or closed (chest wall intact). The three major types of pneumothorax are: Spontaneous pneumothorax, which occurs suddenly or for no distinguishable reason.
Partially collapsed lung or simple pneumothorax can worsen and deteriorate into tension pneumothorax if left untreated. One must contact the healthcare provider without delay if the condition has occurred once before. The symptoms include sharp stabbing pain in the chest region, shortness of breath and nasal flaring.
