Bibasilar atelectasis/scarring in lungs may be due to reasons like chronic retained secretions or infection.
Chronic accumulation of fluids lead to small collapse in lung (atelectasis) due to non aeration of involved part of lung.
You also have small 1 cm subpleural based focus on atelectasis,it may be due to thick mucus,granuloma etc.
These conditions don't require any treatment.
