Spontaneous pneumothorax as a presenting feature of acute paraquat toxicity is as yet unreported. A review of the literature has shown that there has been one reported case of spontaneous pneumothorax occurring after paraquat toxicity. In this case, the pneumothorax occurred seven years after ingestion of paraquat (Nakaoka et al, 1987). The two cases of paraquat ingestion presented in this report are associated with spontaneous pneumothorax in the acute phase. A proposed mechanism for the development of the pneumothorax is discussed.
