    The lone differentiating feature is the presence of communicating tract between pericardium and the cyst cavity in the diverticula, unlike the fully walled off pericardial cyst.

Blebs and bullae can be classified by their wall thickness. [1] A bleb has a wall thickness of less than 1 mm. [2] By radiology definition, it is up to 1 cm in total size. [3]

    Their walls are thin, being less than 1 mm thick. If they rupture, they allow air to escape into pleural space, resulting in a spontaneous pneumothorax and possibly a collapsed lung.
