? pneumothorax: I have not heard of the term but i think you are referring to pneumothorax. Pneumothorax is an air leak from the lung. This happens when there is a puncture into the lung and air comes out, similar to a punctured ballon. This can be mild or serious and can cause collapse of the lung. It can happen with trauma or from a procedure/surgery.
