Pathologies

• Epiglottitis - is a bacterial infection of the epiglottis that is most common in children 2 to 5 years old but that may also affect adults. it results from blockage of the airway caused by swelling
• Situs inversus - (also known as visceral inversion) 2 in which the major organs of the body are on the opposite side. 
• Pneumothorax- is an accumulation of air in the pleural space that causes partial or complete collapse of the lung and results in immediate and severe shortness of breath and chest pain. It may be caused by trauma or a pathologic condition that causes spontaneous rupture of a weakened area of the lung.
• Bronchiectasis -  is an irreversible dilation or widening of bronchi or bronchioles that may result from repeated pulmonary infection or obstruction.
• Atelectasis - is a condition rather than a disease, in which collapse of all or a portion of a lung occurs as the result of obstruction of the bronchus or puncture or “blowout” of an air passageway.
• occupational lung disease- arises from occupational exposures, including certain types of mine work, sandblasting, and similar professions.
• Hemothorax -  which occurs when the fluid is blood. A common cause of right-sided or bilateral pleural effusion is congestive heart failure. 
• Pectus carinatum -  This defect is characterized by anterior protrusion of the lower sternum and xiphoid process. It is usually a benign condition but could lead to cardiopulmonary complications in rare cases.
• Osteomyelitis-  is a local or generalized infection of bone or bone marrow that may be caused by bacteria introduced by trauma or surgery
• Ascites - is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity of the abdomen. It is usually caused by long-standing (chronic) conditions such as cirrhosis of the liver or by metastatic disease to the peritoneal cavity.
