  • Emphysema  By :
    Emphysema is a condition of the lung characterized by abnormal permanent enlargement of the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole, accompanied by destruction of their walls, and without obvious fibrosis. In contrast the enlargement of airspaces unaccompanied by destruction is termed overinflation, for example, the distention of air spaces in the opposite lung after unilater pneumonectomy.
