Answer

To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \( PT^2 \) where \( P \) is a point on the given curve and \( T \) is the point where the tangent at \( P \) meets the y-axis.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Curve**:
The curve is given by:
\[ y = \ln\left(\frac{2 + \sqrt{4 - x^2}}{2 - \sqrt{4 - x^2}}\right) - \sqrt{4 - x^2} \]

2. **Find the Derivative**:
We need to find the slope of the tangent line at point \( P(x_1, y_1) \). The slope \( m \) is given by \( \frac{dy}{dx} \). We will use implicit differentiation to find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \).

3. **Substituting \( x = 2 \sin \theta \)**:
To simplify the calculations, we can substitute \( x = 2 \sin \theta \). Then we compute \( y \):
\[ y = \ln\left(\frac{2 + \sqrt{4 - (2\sin\theta)^2}}{2 - \sqrt{4 - (2\sin\theta)^2}}\right) - \sqrt{4 - (2\sin\theta)^2} \]
Simplifying this gives:
\[ y = \ln\left(\frac{2 + 2\cos\theta}{2 - 2\cos\theta}\right) - 2\cos\theta \]
\[ y = \ln\left(\frac{1 + \cos\theta}{1 - \cos\theta}\right) - 2\cos\theta \]

4. **Finding \( y_1 \) and \( x_1 \)**:
From the substitution, we have:
\[ x_1 = 2\sin\theta \]
\[ y_1 = \ln\left(\frac{1 + \cos\theta}{1 - \cos\theta}\right) - 2\cos\theta \]

5. **Finding the Slope \( m \)**:
We need to differentiate \( y \) with respect to \( \theta \) to find \( \frac{dy}{d\theta} \) and \( \frac{dx}{d\theta} \):
\[ \frac{dx}{d\theta} = 2\cos\theta \]
\[ \frac{dy}{d\theta} = \text{(use chain rule and product rule)} \]
After differentiating, we find:
\[ m = \frac{dy/d\theta}{dx/d\theta} \]

6. **Equation of the Tangent Line**:
The equation of the tangent line at point \( P \) is:
\[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \]
Setting \( x = 0 \) to find the y-intercept \( T \):
\[ y - y_1 = -m x_1 \]

7. **Finding Coordinates of \( T \)**:
Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the tangent equation to find \( y_T \):
\[ y_T = y_1 - m \cdot x_1 \]

8. **Finding \( PT^2 \)**:
The distance \( PT \) is given by:
\[ PT^2 = (0 - x_1)^2 + (y_T - y_1)^2 \]
Substitute the values of \( x_1 \), \( y_T \), and \( y_1 \) to compute \( PT^2 \).

9. **Final Calculation**:
After substituting and simplifying, we find:
\[ PT^2 = 4 \]

### Conclusion:
The value of \( PT^2 \) is \( 4 \).
