Pneumothorax is a medical condition where air or gas accumulates in the pleural space between the lung and chest wall, causing the lung to collapse partially or completely. The term combines Greek roots with medical suffixes, and is used in clinical and radiology discussions to describe a potentially life‑threatening but treatable event.
