Pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung, is the result of a change in pressure around the pleural cavity which prevents the diaphragm from opening the lung, making breathing more difficult. This condition is usually treated with a simple operation, called aspiration, which reduces air pressure and releases any trapped air in the pleural cavity.
