apical pneumothorax
No need to translate "falda".
This chest X-ray shows an apical pneumothorax (P) which does not reach down to the level of the hilum.

Observation cannot be used as an ultimate treatment strategy for any SSP patient. Observation alone is only recommended in patients with small secondary pneumothorax with less than 1 cm depth or isolated apical pneumothorax in asymptomatic patients. Hospitalization is recommended in these cases.

Guidelines from the USA49 estimated the volume of a pneumothorax by measuring the distance from the lung apex to the cupola, but this method would tend to overestimate the volume in a localised apical pneumothorax.

yes Fiona but the question is "falda of PNX apicale". I posted the link of wikipedia last night in the comments https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumotorace.

Aspiration success was defined as complete lung expansion or only a small rim of apical pneumothorax without recurrence within 1 week.

Falda=rim
yes just posted:-)
sorry "layer of apical pneumothorax". I posted the link last night at 20.41.

I don't know whether you can omit "falda" or not...the question is "da tale lato falda of PNX"... I would translate it.

Primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is therefore defined as the presence of air in the pleural space without apparent underlying lung disease or trauma. ... During thoracoscopy or surgery often there are other lesions present, such as inflammatory elastofibrotic layers with increased porosity and areas of disrupted ...
