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