Understanding Pneumorrhachis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Pneumorrhachis is a type of lung injury that occurs when air enters the pleural space (the space between the lungs and the chest wall) and causes inflammation and damage to the lung tissue. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a puncture wound to the chest, a collapsed lung, or a surgical complication.
Symptoms of pneumorrhachis may include:
* Chest pain
* Shortness of breath
* Coughing up blood or frothy sputum
* Fever
* Chills
* Night sweats
Treatment for pneumorrhachis typically involves antibiotics to treat any underlying infections, as well as supportive care to help the patient breathe more easily. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair any damage to the lung tissue.
