collapse of the lung with air in the potential space between the lung and the chest wall
abnormal collection of air outside the lining of the lung, between the lung and the chest wall, often a consequence of barotraumas
An accumulation of air or gas in the pleural space, which may occur spontaneously or as a result of trauma or a pathological process, or be introduced deliberately (Dorland, 27th ed)

Abbreviated as SP
tension pneumothorax
A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition that results from a progressive deterioration and worsening of a simple pneumothorax, associated with the formation of a one-way valve at the point of rupture
