ABSTRACT

Spontaneous Pneumothorax is divided into primary and secondary, the latter have an underlying lung disease. The primary type is related to the risk factors of an individual without lung disease, while the secondary is because the underlying lung disease. The clinical symptoms are suggestive of the disease so they should be suspected and performed imaging tests to confirm it. The X-ray is useful, by observing the radiopaque line at the level of visceral pleura separated from the parietal pleura. Early and adequate treatment allows the resolution of the disease, but you should take into account the high recurrence presented. Preventive treatment must be carried out according to the recurrences or increased risk of presenting them.
