AB Pneumothorax  arises  when  free  air  enters  the  potential  space  between  the  visceral  and  parietal  lung  pleura.  Primary  pneumothoraces  occur  without  clinically  apparent  lung  disease,  either  spontaneously  or  from  penetration  of  the  intrapleural  space  by  trauma.  Secondary  pneumothoraces  happen  in  patients  with  underlying  lung  disease.
