Hemopneumothorax most often occurs as a result of a wound to the chest, such as from a gunshot, stabbing, or broken rib. This is called traumatic hemopneumothorax. In very rare instances, the condition is caused by other medical conditions, like lung cancer, bleeding disorders, or rheumatoid arthritis.

A hemothorax will have a similar presentation as a pneumothorax, with symptoms such as dyspnea, hypoxia, decreased breath sounds, and chest pain. A key clinical finding that separates these two is that a pneumothorax will have hyper-resonance to percussion, but a hemothorax will have a hypo-resonance to percussion.
Hemothorax is a collection of blood in the space between the chest wall and the lung (the pleural cavity).
Pneumothorax is when air collects in between the parietal and viscera pleurae resulting in lung collapse. It can happen secondary to trauma (traumatic pneumothorax). When mediastinal shifts accompany it, it is called a tension pneumothorax. This is a life-threatening emergency that needs urgent management.
