Bibasilar atelectasis is a partial or complete collapsing of the lungs or lobe of lungs when alveoli, the tiny air pockets become deflated. This condition causes problems in breathing and may occur after a surgery.Atelectasis may also occur due to other problems like cystic fibrosis, lung tumor, inhalation of foreign objects, accumulation of fluid in lungs, chest injuries, and severe asthma.Usually the tissue damage varies depending on the causal factor.oreover, pneumonia is another cause of nonobstructive atelectasis. A large tumor outside the lungs can press against this organ causing deflation rather than blocking the airways thus causing atelectasis. Other causes are scarring of lung tissue from injury, surgery, or a lung disease.
