MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamfetamine, Ecstasy) is a widely used recreational drug. We present a case of pneumomediastinum as a complication of MDMA use in a 21-year-old man with no previous history of lung or gastrointestinal pathology. We have performed a literature review, and summarised the symptoms, signs, and prognosis for this under-recognised complication of a commonly used recreational drug. We recommend enquiring about illicit drug use in any patient presenting with spontaneous pneumomediastinum.
摇头丸（3,4－亚甲基二氧甲基苯丙胺，摇头丸）是一种广泛使用的消遣性毒品。我们报告一例21岁男性因使用摇头丸出现纵隔气肿并发症的病例，该患者既往无肺部或胃肠道疾病史。我们进行了文献综述，总结了这种常用消遣性毒品未得到充分认识的并发症的症状、体征及预后。我们建议，对于任何出现自发性纵隔气肿的患者，均应询问其是否使用过非法药物。
