The pulmonary bullous emphysema. Literature review
At the moment, there are some differences in the papers about bullous emphysema of the lungs. Some authors prefer to divide this pathology into a separate nosological unit, despite the general tendency to consider bullous emphysema as one of the manifestations of emphysema of the lungs, which in most cases is a clinical form of COPD. But the dilemma, in turn, does not solve the problem of qualitative diagnosis and treatment of this pathology. Currently, there is a small amount of works related to epidemiology and structured data on the treatment of bullous emphysema, although this pathology has a significant influence on the population. This review article will show the etiology, pathogenesis, classification, signs and symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of bullous emphysema.
