MDMA（3,4-亚甲基二氧基甲基苯丙胺）或“摇头丸”是年轻人在聚会和狂欢中经常使用的非法药物。尽管它是非法的，但它很容易得到许多年轻人认为它是“无害的”，但也有一些引人注目的死亡与它的使用有关MDMA已知的副作用包括高热、横纹肌溶解、凝血功能障碍和心律失常更罕见的副作用包括手术肺气肿和纵隔气肿，这些都与可卡因滥用有关。4-6我们报告一个年轻人服用摇头丸后出现双侧气胸、手术肺气肿和纵隔气肿的病例。
MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) or ‘Ecstasy’ is an illicit drug frequently used by young people at parties and ‘raves’. It is readily available in spite of the fact that it is illegal.1 It is perceived by a lot of young people as being ‘harmless’, but there have been a few high-profile deaths associated with its use.2 Known side effects of MDMA include hyperthermia, rhabdomyolysis, coagulopathy and cardiac arrhythmias.3 Rarer side effects include surgical emphysema and pneumomediastinum, which have been better described with cocaine abuse.4–6 We present a case of bilateral pneumothorax, surgical emphysema and pneumomediastinum in a young man after taking ecstasy.
