The chest radiographs of 71 patients who had chest pain or shortness of breath following the smoking of highly potent "crack" cocaine were retrospectively evaluated. Nine patients had abnormal findings on radiographs as follows: atelectasis or localized parenchymal opacification in four, pneumomediastinum in two, pneumothorax in one, hemopneumothorax in one, and pulmonary edema in one. Radiographic detection of these abnormalities was important in the clinical management of these patients. This spectrum of findings is presented with a discussion of the pathophysiologic mechanisms responsible.
对71例吸食高效“快克”可卡因后出现胸痛或呼吸急促的患者的胸部X光片进行了回顾性评估。9例患者的X光片有异常表现，如下：4例肺不张或局限性实质混浊，2例纵隔气肿，1例气胸，1例血气胸，1例肺水肿。这些异常的X光检查结果对这些患者的临床管理很重要。本文展示了这一系列检查结果，并讨论了其病理生理机制。
