Abstract

Pulmonary collapse is one of the most frequently encountered lung pathologies. The causes of this disorder, which affects adults as well as children, are as various as there are pulmonary diseases: infections, tumoral lesions, bronchiectases, trauma, radiation injury, granulomatous diseases, pleural abnormalities, foreign bodies, and mediastinal lesions. The subject has been widely described in the literature (1–3).
