text: A primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) tends to occur in a young adult without underlying lung problems, and usually causes limited symptoms.
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) tends to occur in older people with known lung problems.
text: Pneumothorax represents a common clinical problem and is categorized either to spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) (primary and secondary or catamenial) or nonspontaneous such as traumatic with iatrogenic or no iatrogenic etiology (11,12).
text: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) has for many years been thought to be caused by "blebs" (small air-filled lesions just under the pleural surface), which were presumed to be more common in those classically at risk of pneumothorax (tall males) due to mechanical factors.
text: A primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) occurs when the person has no known history of lung disease.
text: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) occurs in people who have no known lung disease, often affecting young males who are tall and thin.
text: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is defined as the spontaneously occurring of air in the pleural space in patients without any clinically apparent underlying lung disease.
text: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP): this type of pneumothorax is the most common, has no known cause and develops in otherwise healthy people.
text: Uptodate says "A primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is a pneumothorax that occurs without a precipitating event in a person who does not have known lung disease.
text: Risks factors for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) include the following:
text: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP)
text: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP)
text: Because patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) will have apical emphysematous pulmonary disease on computed tomography (CT) or thoracoscopy, they can be thought to have a congenital syndrome of mild acinar emphysema, whose expression is enhanced by environmental factors (eg, smoking) just as it is in patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and "typical" emphysema.
text: The incidence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is 24/100,000 a year in men and 9.9/100,000 a year in women in England and Wales  .
text: The spontaneous pneumothorax therefore can be a primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) or a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP).
text: Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax (PSP) can occur in young people even when there are no medical issues with the lungs.
text: Because patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) will have apical emphysematous pulmonary disease on computed tomography (CT) or thoracoscopy, they can be thought to have a congenital syndrome of mild acinar emphysema, whose expression is enhanced by environmental factors (eg, smoking) just as it is in patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and "typical" emphysema.
text: This again, is classified into two further types- primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP).
text: The primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), as stated above, occurs in the absence of any underlying lung disease.
text: The signs and symptoms in this type are comparatively severe than the ones seen in primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP).
text: More specifically, primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is defined as the spontaneously occurring presence of air in the pleural space in patients without clinically apparent underlying lung disease, whereas a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is defined as a SP with underlying lung disease (12) including cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), AIDS, etc.
text: Most individuals with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) have unrecognized lung disease; many observations suggest that spontaneous pneumothorax often results from rupture of a subpleural bleb.  
text: Until a bleb ruptures and causes pneumothorax, no clinical signs or symptoms are present in primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP).
text: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is therefore defined as the presence of air in the pleural space without apparent underlying lung disease or trauma.
text: Background: Most published clinical guidelines on the management of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) advocate for a conservative approach of observation for small asymptomatic pneumothoraces (PTX).(1,2)
text: If you have had a spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP or SSP) previously, you might need treatment to prevent it happening again.
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is defined as spontaneous occurring of air in the pleural space in patients with underlying lung disease.
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP): SSP develops as a complication of existing lung disease, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis or cystic fibrosis.
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP)
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) can occur with various underlying lung conditions, including COPD, tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, cystic fibrosis, malignancy, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
text: The spontaneous pneumothorax therefore can be a primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) or a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP).
text: Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax (SSP) occurs when a person already has underlying medical factors, such as lung disease.
text: This again, is classified into two further types- primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP).
text: The secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) occurs in persons with another underlying lung disease.
text: More specifically, primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is defined as the spontaneously occurring presence of air in the pleural space in patients without clinically apparent underlying lung disease, whereas a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is defined as a SP with underlying lung disease (12) including cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), AIDS, etc.
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is defined as spontaneous occurring of air in the pleural space in patients with underlying lung disease.
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is defined as spontaneous occurring of air in the pleural space in patients with underlying lung disease.
text: Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) is defined as the presence of air in the pleural space as a consequence of clinically apparent underlying lung disease without iatrogenic or other external blunt (barotraumata, etc.) or penetrating chest injuries.
