We have reported two cases of pneumomediastinum occurring in previously healthy young men after smoking cocaine and performing the Valsalva maneuver to intensify the euphoria. Pneumomediastinum is thought to result from increased intrathoracic pressure produced by the Valsalva maneuver, with resultant rupture of marginal alveoli. With the increasing popularity of inhaling free-base cocaine, physicians should be aware of this complication.
我们报告了两例纵隔气肿病例，发生在原本健康的年轻男性身上，他们在吸食可卡因后进行瓦尔萨尔瓦动作以增强欣快感。纵隔气肿被认为是由瓦尔萨尔瓦动作产生的胸内压升高导致边缘肺泡破裂所致。随着吸入游离碱可卡因的日益流行，医生应意识到这种并发症。
