Pulmonary bullae are commonly seen in long-term smokers and patients with chronic bronchitis. If pulmonary bullae are present in the right lung, the diameter and number of pulmonary bullae are relatively small. Under normal circumstances, they can be observed first. After the bullae rupture, there may be chest pain symptoms, but if the diameter is relatively small and relatively small, generally there is no big problem. Therefore, normally speaking, for ordinary mild pulmonary bullae patients, we suggest to try to quit smoking, treat respiratory diseases, observe first, but for repeated attacks, and pulmonary bullae larger diameter, the number of patients, like this case may show bleeding, pneumothorax. If the number of pulmonary bullae is very large, bleeding symptoms are more serious, surgery may be necessary. Therefore, in general, for the bullae at the apex of the right lung, we should do relevant examination and treatment, especially suggest that the patient do chest X-ray or chest CT to clarify the size and diameter of the bullae, so that relevant symptomatic treatment can be carried out without delaying the condition.
