There are 4 primary mechanisms that can cause atelectasis. These include: Obstruction - Blockage of an airway, either from inside (for example, by a foreign body that is aspirated, or a mucous plug), or the outside (for example, by a lung cancer pressing on the airway), can result in collapse of a portion of the lung.
1 Pneumonia. 2  Different types of pneumonia, an infection of your lungs, may temporarily cause atelectasis. 3  Pneumothorax. 4  Air leaks into the space between your lungs and chest wall, indirectly causing some or all of a lung to collapse. 5  Scarring of lung tissue. 6  Scarring could be caused by injury, lung disease or surgery. Foreign body. 2  Atelectasis is common in children who have inhaled an object, such as a peanut or small toy part, into their lungs. 3  Narrowing of major airways from disease. 4  Chronic infections, including fungal infections, tuberculosis and other diseases, can scar and constrict major airways.
