Can lung apex bullae heal themselves?

Pulmonary apex bullae are normally unable to self-heal. Pulmonary apex bullae refer to bullae occurring at the apex of the lungs. Pulmonary bullae may be seen in congenital abnormalities, and may also be contracted in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema. No matter what the cause of pulmonary bullae, generally speaking, they cannot be cured. Moreover, hypertrophic bullae may gradually expand, and most of the bullae at the apex of the lungs do not require special treatment. However, if combined with pneumothorax, may also need to give surgical treatment. In addition to COPD emphysema caused by lung weight loss cannon, if the patient has obvious chest tightness, dyspnea symptoms, this case can also consider surgical treatment, after surgical treatment equivalent to lung volume reduction surgery, this case also helps to improve the patient chest tightness, dyspnea symptoms.
