A member asked:
What is bibasilar subsegmental ateleclasis and is it serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: It's simply a finding on a chest x-ray that in the absence of any symptoms, is nothing to worry about. People tend to develop atelectasis when they are in bed for a long time or not taking deep breaths frequently enough.
