Probably fine: There may be sub pleural blebs associated with underlying abnormal development of the lung in children. They may rupture and cause a pneumothorax. The reason that you had the imaging test may be further discussed during a virtual consultation with Healthtap. You may also upload the image at that time. If you experience symptoms please see your physician.
