Pneumothorax vs. Skin Fold
Imaging findings
Real pneumothorax shows a thin white line with black lung on both sides; skin folds lack this and often exhibit a Mach band effect.
Key takeaways
Distinguishing skin folds from pneumothorax is a fundamental skill; look for the presence of the white line and the orientation of the interface.
