A pneumothorax is a collection of air outside the lung but within the pleural cavity . It occurs when air accumulates between the parietal and visceral pleurae inside the chest. The air accumulation can apply pressure on the lung and make it collapse (see Image. Upper Lobe Pneumothorax).

Collapsed lung (pneumothorax) - Mount Sinai
A collapsed lung occurs when air escapes from the lung. The air then fills the space outside of the lung between the lung and chest wall. This buildup of air puts pressure on the lung, so it cannot expand as much as it normally does when you take a breath. The medical name of this condition is pneumothorax.

Pneumothorax: Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment - Verywell Health
Oct 20, 2022A pneumothorax is an accumulation of air or gas in the space between the lung and the chest wall that occurs when a hole develops in the lung that allows air to escape. This causes the lung to partially or completely collapse, hence the condition's other name: collapsed lung. In the United States, 5 million people are treated for it each year.
