PG  - 680-1
AB  - The 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine (MDMA) also known as ecstasy is a 
      hallucinogen prevalently used by teenagers. Known complications of its 
      consumption are hyperpyrexia, disseminated intravasal coagulation, acute kidney 
      failure, and rhabdomyolysis. We report about an 18-year-old patient who developed 
      a pneumomediastinum and skin emphysema by excluded lesions of the lung and 
      respiratory tract. We present the hypothesis of the pathogenesis of this disease. 
      The correct therapy is observation of the patient and maximum sedation.
