development of hair follicle tumors, renal neoplasms, and pulmonary cysts (10). More than 80% of patients with BHD have lung cysts. These cystic air spaces predispose patients with BHD to develop recurrent pneumothoraces (10). The incidence of pneumothorax in patients with BHD is 32-fold higher than the general population, extending up to 50-fold higher after adjusting for age (11). Approximately 25% of the patients with BHD will develop a pneumothorax in their lifetime; however, there is a 75% chance of a recurrent event after the initial episode of pneumothorax (12). Based on the high recurrence rate following a sentinel event, pleurodesis should be considered following the first episode of a pneumothorax in patients with BHD (10, 13). Two recent studies have demonstrated that BHD can be the underlying etiology for a pneumothorax in 5-10% of the patients presenting to the emergency room with an apparent primary spontaneous pneumothorax (14, 15). Similar to LAM, a recent analysis shows that performing a HRCT to screen for BHD in patients presenting with a pneumothorax is cost-effective. Pulmonary
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) is a rare, cystic lung disease most commonly encountered in young to middle aged patients (1). Approximately 90% of adult PLCH are active or former smokers, or have a history of exposure to second-hand cigarette or marijuana smoke (1, 16). Pneumothorax occurs in approximately 15% of patients with PLCH (17). The recurrence rate of pneumothorax following a sentinel event is quite high in PLCH. In the study by Mendez et al. 58% of patients had a recurrent pneumothorax if managed with observation or chest tube alone. In contrast, performing a pleurodesis reduced the recurrence rate to zero (17). This forms the basis for the recommendation to consider pleurodesis following the initial episode of pneumothorax in patients with PLCH (1).

recurrent pneumothoraces in females. In fact, CP is now considered to account for 20–25% of the cases of primary spontaneous pneumothorax in females of reproductive age (19, 20). CP develops as a result of thoracic endometriosis. While diaphragmatic endometriosis is seen in almost all patients with CP, endometrial implants on the visceral pleura have also been known to cause CP (20). The exact mechanism of thoracic implantation of the endometrial tissue remains unclear (18). It is important to recognize that not all patients with thoracic endometriosis related pneumothorax have the temporal association with onset of menses characteristic of CP. In a recent analysis, CP represented only approximately one-third of all thoracic endometriosis related pneumothoraces (20). CP is almost always seen on the right side, with very rare left sided or bilateral episodes reported in the literature (21). On average, patients experience 3-5 pneumothoraces before getting a definitive diagnosis and treatment for CP (22). Thus, it is important for clinicians to maintain a high index of suspicion for thoracic endometriosis related pneumothorax/CP when evaluating females in their reproductive age group presenting with a spontaneous pneumothorax. Lack of a temporal relationship with menstrual cycle should not preclude the diagnosis of thoracic endometriosis related pneumothorax. Timely referral for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) can not only establish the definitive diagnosis but also help in reducing future recurrences. Medical treatment aimed to achieve hormonal blockade via oral contraceptive agents, progestins, or gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists may be needed in addition to pleurodesis in order to achieve complete pleural symphysis, as well as help in symptomatic management of cyclical chest pain (18).
3656:"It is not clear the exact pathway that air follows to produce this lesion. Clearly air can dissect to the visceral pleura and either at the site of weakness, a bleb, or an adhesion to the chest wall rupture, causing a clinical PTX. It is also possible, however, that air dissecting along perivascular sheaths can dissect to the root of the lung and then rupture the parietal pleura causing a PTX. A diving related PTX needs to be recognised early because if it occurs in association with an AGE, recompression treatment could theoretically cause a simple communicating PTX to be converted into a tension PTX during the ascent phase of treatment." - Bennett & Elliott, page 561.
5539:
some centers consider bilateral pleurodesis to be a relative or absolute contraindication to lung transplantation (3). However, multiple studies have shown that while prior pleurodesis can produce a higher risk of bleeding during the transplant, it doesn't affect the mortality or other outcomes following lung transplant (2, 4-6). Based on these data, a history of pleurodesis is not considered a contraindication to lung transplantation in patients with LAM (7), and patients with LAM should be offered the option to undergo pleurodesis following their initial episode of pneumothorax.

over is it sufficient to have a one way valve to have a tension pneumothorax? Dont people with Asthma/COPD have one way valve mechanism that cause the retention of the residual volume. If they have a ruptured bulla will they necessarily always have a

One of the primary references I mentioned in the mechanism section cited a one way valve that lead to bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax that stayed non-tension for quite sometime despite its one-way-ness.

The next morning he wakes up and finds that his neck is painfully enlarged (sometimes grotesquely) and makes crackling sounds when touched. This is attributed to something blowing out in the lungs and air getting into the neck. It may be important to note that it's normal for the neck to bulge out slightly when playing the pipes due to the effort of blowing. Is this sort of injury possible?

with one study noting a 19% increase in BP. In all these studies just two animals (both immature monkeys with mobile mediastinums) developed hypotension immediately before death from respiratory arrest, but cardiac output was still 70% normal at this stage.... There was minimal evidence of right sided venous obstruction with only bilateral TPTs causing a linear rise in central venous pressure (CVP). Only one of the three unilateral TPT studies found increased superior and inferior vena caval pressures and these occurred in the agonal stages of respiration."
4592:, pleural pressure must be negative in relation to atmospheric pressure during part of the respiratory cycle for air to enter the pleural space. The mechanism responsible for tension pneumothorax is the disruption of the visceral or parietal pleura in such a manner that a one-way valve develops.....As a tension pneumothorax progresses, the pleural pressure remains positive during a greater portion of the inspiratory cycle. If the patient is on MECHANICAL VENTILATION, the ALVEOLAR pressure remains POSITIVE throughout inspiration and expiration.

study analyzing the incidence and prevalence of pneumothoraces in LAM, the authors found an initial pneumothorax rate of 66% (260 out of 395 patients) (2). In addition, patients with LAM have a very high rate of having repeated episodes of pneumothoraces. In the study by
Almoosa et al more than three-quarters of the patients (77%, 200 out of 260 patients) experienced a recurrent pneumothorax. On average a patient with LAM experiences more than three episodes of pneumothoraces in their lifetime (2).

10% pneumothorax will resolve spontaneously in 10 days, a 30% pneumothorax in a month. This is assuming that there is no further air leak. Ongoing air leak will of course delay this process. In terms of a "collapsed lung", the time to resolution will depend on the underlying cause. Cancers and severe pneumonias will tend not to resolve if left untreated.
