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.
A secondary spontaneous pneumothorax almost always requires chest tube drainage for treatment. Traumatic pneumothorax: Any blunt or penetrating injury to your chest can cause lung collapse. Knife and gunshot wounds, a blow to the chest, even a deployed air bag can cause a pneumothorax.
