Pneumothorax originating in the perinatal period - what does this mean
Pneumothorax originating in the perinatal period is a rare condition that occurs when air enters the pleural space around the lungs of a newborn, causing the lungs to collapse. it is most commonly caused by a rupture in the alveoli or bronchial walls of the lungs, or by a defect in the pleural membrane.
What happens during the disease - pneumothorax originating in the perinatal period
Pneumothorax originating in the perinatal period is caused by a rupture of the alveoli due to increased pressure on the lungs during the birthing process. this leads to air entering the pleural space and causing a collapse of the affected lung, resulting in a decrease in oxygen levels in the blood and difficulty breathing.
