A spontaneous pneumothorax is one that occurs suddenly and without any obvious underlying cause. Frequently, it happens in tall, thin young adults when a high lung pressure causes a surface bleb or bulla to rupture.

A 24-hour collection of sputum is usually voluminous and tends to settle into several different layers.
