Overview
Causes
Pneumothorax can also occur as part of medical procedures, such as the insertion of a central venous catheter (an intravenous catheter) in thesubclavian vein or jugular vein. While rare, it is considered a serious complication and needs immediate treatment. Other causes includemechanical ventilation, emphysema and rarely other lung diseases (pneumonia).
