What Does This CT Scan Report Of Chest Indicate?
Hello.. My name is Junaid and i have chest pain since three days and today I've got my CT SCAN report in which it stated that
"Large pneumothorax identified in the right side. there is a collapse of the upper lobe and middle lobe of the right lung. the lower lobe shows viability although peripheral compressive atelectasis is also noted within the lower lobe of the right lung."
so please help me out whats the problem with me as I am very tensed.

Hello and thank you for asking in HCM
I can understand your concern.
Pneumothorax means air in the pleural space due to the rupture of the pleura.
it is a condition that requires hospitalization and insertion of a tube in the pleural cavity to drain the excessive air.
In young adults it happen as a rupture of small blebs localized in apical lung lobes.
I wish a fast recovery for you
