Extrapulmonary restriction is a medical condition that affects the lungs. It is characterized by a decrease in lung volume caused by factors outside of the lungs. These factors can include abnormalities in the chest wall, pleura, or diaphragm, or neuromuscular disease.
Causes[edit]
Extrapulmonary restriction can be caused by a variety of conditions, including:
Symptoms[edit]
The symptoms of extrapulmonary restriction can vary depending on the underlying cause, but may include:
Diagnosis[edit]
The diagnosis of extrapulmonary restriction typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and pulmonary function tests. Additional tests, such as imaging studies, may also be needed to identify the underlying cause.
Treatment[edit]
The treatment of extrapulmonary restriction is primarily aimed at managing the underlying cause. This may involve medication, surgery, or other interventions. In some cases, pulmonary rehabilitation may also be beneficial.
