Atelectasis (at-ee-LEK-tah-sis) is the collapse of part or all of the lung by the blockage of the air passages or by very shallow breathing (atel means incomplete, and -ectsis means stretching or enlargement). "Pneumothorax" is actually the presence of free air or gas in the pleural cavity.
The collapse of all or part of a lung is a pneumothorax.

An atelectasis is a collapse of a part or of the whole lung caused by inner factors rather than a pneumothorax.
atelectasis
It is a partial lung collapse, due to an air pocket on the outside of the lung, which pushes against the lung.
Yes, a pneumonectomy is surgical removal of all or part of a lung.
squidward: "no patrick , inhaling does not cause a lung to collapse"
Air in the chest (Thorax) causes the lung to collapse. This can be spontaneous or after chest injuries
Um Its like we asked the ? why don't you just answer it
Atelectasis is a partial collapse of the lung caused by failure of the parenchymal (functional) lung tissue due to disease (i.e., COPD). Pneumothorax is the collapse of the lung due to mechanical causes (i.e., traumatic injury, violent coughing).
Pressure on the lung leading it to collapse
The term air bronchogram is used to describe a condition in which the bronchi stand out prominently due to increased contrast brought about by changes in the surrounding lung tissue. The change can be due to pneumonic consolidation, collapse of a part of the lung, or inflammatory edema in the lung tissue. It is not specific to any disease.
Difficult breathing can be called lung collapse which might be caused by dead air leaving the trachea causing the lung to collapse. The only way to deal with this issue is to perform Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the victim.
