ABSTRACT
We reviewed case reports of bilateral pneumothorax after acupuncture treatment from the point of view of clinical acupuncture. A paper showing pathological findings based on autopsy suggests that, in more cases than we had expected, acupuncture needles penetrate the lung or the pleura. We speculate a portion of these cases develop into pneumothorax and a few of these become serious. By means of literature search, we have found that 23 cases of bilateral pneumothorax after acupuncture have been published in Japan and other countries. We must learn from these case reports. Further, we should reassess the contents of clinical acupuncture education and introduce the concept of failsafe treatment.
