“…6,7 A number of cases with pneumothorax and/or pneumomediastinum in cannabis users have been described in the literature which suggest a cause-effect relationship but larger and more cohort studies are needed to clarify the association. [8][9][10][11][12] One of the recent studies which had a relatively larger cohort population, showed that the combination of smoking of tobacco and cannabis significantly increases the risk of having a primary spontaneous pneumothorax in young men compared to both non-smokers and daily tobacco only smokers. 3 When a spontaneous pneumothorax occurs in a cannabis smoker, the possibility of a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax should be considered.…”

“…3 When a spontaneous pneumothorax occurs in a cannabis smoker, the possibility of a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax should be considered. 11 The most commonly attributed mechanism for primary pneumothorax and/or pneumomediastinum is the smoking technique. 8,10,12 The suggested mechanism is barotrauma of coughing during breath-holding periods which may cause alveoli to overdistend and rupture.…”

Cannabis – the most commonly used illegal drug – also has some medical applications. Cannabis is being legalised more and more in the Western world, however it is not a safe substance as many people think. It can cause detrimental acute and chronic lung injuries such as bullous lung disease, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pulmonary emphysema. A clear mechanism for acute pulmonary pathologies has not been established, but pneumothorax and/or pneumomediastinum can be considered as a typical presentation in cannabis users. We present a cannabis user case with simultaneous pneumomediastinum and bilateral spontaneous pneumothorax.

Purpose of review To examine the spectrum of emergency department presentations associated with cannabis use or misuse that are currently seen in the pediatric population. Recent findings There is a growing concern that pediatric emergency department visits related to cannabis are on the rise, especially given rapidly changing legislation on cannabis and its broad availability in certain areas. These concerns are substantiated in the current literature, as the evidence mounts for an array of emergency department presentations of intentional or accidental cannabis use. The range of presentations documented in the recent literature spans gastrointestinal, psychiatric and cardiorespiratory effects, in addition to traumatic injuries and accidental ingestions by younger children. Complications of chronic cannabis use, such as ‘cannabis hyperemesis syndrome’, depression, psychosis or cognitive impairment, are now recognized outcomes and even more are likely to emerge. Summary An array of cannabis-related symptoms is possible from acute use or exposure. Common presentations include acute intoxication, hyperemesis, depression and acute physical injuries from impaired psychomotor function. Uncommon presentations include cardiorespiratory effects, and a range of symptoms in young children that include hyperkinesis and coma. Clinical vigilance is needed to suspect and clinically diagnose cannabis exposure in the emergency department.
