Abstract :
Pneumothorax is the collection of air in the pleural space. Most of these patients are admitted to emergency services first. If pneumothorax is left untreated, it can progress to a life-threatening clinical condition. All emergency physicians must have a detailed knowledge about it and its treatment.
