In order to specify the etiology of primary spontaneous pneumothorax, lung function studies were performed on 14 patients after one pneumothorax without any set. All the patients showed at least one disturbance. 4 patients revealed a decrease of maximal expiratory flow, a decrease of lung recoil, a hyperinflation and a reduction of lung transfer factor. In 6 other patients decrease of elasticity, hyperinflation and decrease of transfer factor were observed, but maximal expiratory flow was normal. One patient showed an obstructive syndrome. It is difficult indeed to connect physiological findings and anatomy, but these disturbances are often observed in lung dystrophy. Perhaps, these disturbances are in connexion with the proximity of accident; so, a long term study is required in order to know the etiopathogeny of this disease.
为明确原发性自发性气胸的病因，对14例曾发生过一次气胸且无任何特殊情况的患者进行了肺功能研究。所有患者均至少存在一项异常。4例患者表现为最大呼气流量降低、肺回缩力降低、肺过度充气以及肺转移因子降低。另外6例患者观察到弹性降低、肺过度充气和转移因子降低，但最大呼气流量正常。1例患者表现为阻塞性综合征。确实很难将生理检查结果与解剖结构联系起来，但这些异常在肺发育不良中经常可见。或许，这些异常与发病情况相关；因此，需要进行长期研究以了解该疾病的病因。
