Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay has a partially collapsed lung, but won't miss any work, according to her rep.

"Mariska Hargitay has been sidelined with a pneumothorax (a partially collapsed lung)," the rep says.

In spite of her condition, the 44-year-old actress "will appear in all episodes for the rest of the season of Law & Order: SVU," the rep says.

According to a source, the actress has been on vacation and her injury did not occur on the set of her show.

Hargitay was nominated for a Golden Globe for best actress in a television drama, but did not attend Sunday's ceremony.

Access Hollywood was first to report the news.

I noticed that she was missing from the Globes when her category was announced. I hope she gets well soon.

I know someone who suffered a collapsed lung and it's no picnic. :eek: Get well soon, Mariska!!

Yah I noticed her absence too and wondered.

Makes you wonder what she would have done on vacation to have that happen. Hope she gets better soon. From what I've heard, it can be quite painful.

Mariska Hargitay is in my prayers
