The authors report their experience of the evolution and treatment of spontaneous pneumothorax in the adult, in a series of 124 cases, starting from January 1965 to May 1975. Recurrences occur in 27% of cases whatever therapeutics are used. They discuss frequency and modality in relation to the etiology and the proposed treatment of pneumothorax.
