Causes :
· Chronic obstructive bronchitis
· Emphysema. diffuse
· 상기 질환 없이도 올 수 있다.

Type 1: Subpleural location in apex, narrowed neck
related paraseptal emphysema
Type 2: Superficial location, broad neck : spontaneous pneumothorax와 관계 Type 3: deep within the lung substances - Type 2와 비슷
exaggerated form of emphysema
Indications for bullectomy
ⅰ) markedly impaired
dyspnea
pneumothorax
infected bullae
ⅱ) large but localized bullae (> 1/3 of affected lung)
ⅲ) He dilution과 body plethysmography 로 FRC가 심한(e.g. up to 4L)
