[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] (4) 230 million years ago This small bleb of amber from New Mexico was probably formed by the extinct primitive conifer Araucarioxylon. Pneumothorax collapsed lung causes Risk Factors:- Spontaneous pneumothorax occurs in 20 to 40 aged, caused by air leakage from ruptured blebs (blister like accumulations of fluid) that are present at birth, may be caused by an emphysematous bleb that ruptures during exercise or coughing or from tuberculosis or cancer, may also collapse spontaneously in interstitial lung disease.
