Centrilobular emphysema is a type of pulmonary emphysema primarily affecting the central parts of the acini, which are the small air sacs in the lungs. It is often associated with smoking and is characterized by the destruction of alveolar walls around the respiratory bronchioles. Paraseptal emphysema, on the other hand, occurs at the edges of the acini, specifically adjacent to the interlobular septa, and is often linked to conditions like spontaneous pneumothorax. Both types contribute to airflow obstruction and respiratory difficulties.
