Respiratory System (J00-J99)
- Occult pneumothorax – form of pulmonary collapse not seen on a standard radiograph.
- Spontaneous tension pneumothorax – life-threatening form of pneumothorax in which increased pressure in the pleural space causes problems with blood flow to the heart, as well as impaired unfolding of the opposite lung.
- Other spontaneous pneumothorax
- Iatrogenic pneumothorax – collapse of the lung caused by a medical procedure.
- Other pneumothorax
- Hematopneumothorax – collapse of the lung characterized by air and blood accumulation.
- Coagulothorax/fibrothorax – consequence of hematothorax not completely relieved.
- Pleural emphysema – accumulation of pus in the pleural space.
- Pneumomediastinum (synonym: mediastinal emphysema) – accumulation of air in the mediastinum (part of the chest located between the two lungs); possible causes of spontaneous occurrence are:
- Asthma exacerbations
- Recurrent vomiting
- Seizures
- Valsava maneuvers (severe coughing, intense physical exertion, such as weight lifting, childbirth).
- Barotrauma (flying and diving).
- Strong singing or screaming
- Iatrogenic: Working with air-driven turbines in the lower jaw during dental treatment.
- Alcohol overuse and drugs (cannabis (hashish and marijuana); cocaine, heroin).
Injuries, poisonings, and other consequences of external causes (S00-T98).
- Pulmonary contusion (pulmonary contusion)
- Rib fracture (rib fracture), unspecified
- Traumatic pneumothorax (S27.0) – pneumothorax resulting from an injury
- Traumatic hematopneumothorax (S27.2) – hematopneumothorax caused by injury
