Primary spontaneous pneumothorax: diagnosis, complications, treatment

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax has come to be better understood and managed, because its etiology can now be identified in most cases. Primary spontaneous pneumothorax is mainly caused by the rupture of a small subpleural emphysematous vesicle (designated a bleb) or of a subpleural paraseptal emphysematous lesion (designated a bulla). The aim of this review is to improve the understanding of primary spontaneous pneumothorax and to propose a descriptive evaluation of the different forms of management plan. Moreover, the aim of this review to describe the most effective diagnosis procedure amongst numerous imaging modalities, to evaluate most common complications associated with primary spontaneous pneumothorax and the treatment options.
