Can emphysema have a cavity in the lungs be fatal
Hello, emphysema is rarely associated with lung cavity images. Emphysema is an alveolar lesion characterized by abnormal persistent expansion of air cavity at the distal end of terminal bronchioles, increased residual air volume and excessive inflation caused by destruction of alveoli and bronchioles. Lung cavities are generally less life-threatening, such as those with massive hemoptysis, which may cause suffocation and be fatal.
