GONZALEZ COGOLLO, William José. Neumotórax hipertensivo por inhalación de cocaína. Acta méd. costarric [online]. 2002, vol.44, n.1, pp.36-38. ISSN 0001-6002.
The use of cocaine causes pulmonary, cardiac, obstetric, muskuloskeletal and gastrointestinal complications. The case of a young man who sustained barotrauma (hipertensive pneumotorax) associated with the use of cocaine is presentes here. Based on this case and a review of the literature it is recommended that a careful drug abuse history be obtained when "spontaneous" pneumotorax is encountered in an adult or adolescent patient.
