摘要：

This article reports a case of an intravenous drug abuser who presented with a hemopneumothorax, which is a rare complication of jugular vein self-injection. The patient achieved an inadvertent subclavian arterotomy, causing tingling and numbness in the hand and arm, an unusual ''high,'' and blood filling the pleura, collapsing the lung. With an increase in pulmonary complications among intravenous drug abusers from infections in the immunocompromised state, pulmonary complaints related to trauma sustained from their activity must not be overlooked.
