The use of cocaine causes pulmonary, cardiac, obstetric,muskuloskeletal and gastrointestinal complications.The case of a young man who sustained barotrauma (hiper-tensive pneumotorax) associated with the use of cocaine ispresented here.Based on this case and a review of the literature it is recom-mended that a careful drug abuse history be obtained when"" spontaneous"" pneumotorax is encountered in an adult oradolescent patient.
