Abstract Introduction:Tension pneumothorax during the emergency airway is a rare but deleterious event, which may cause severe cardiorespiratory collapse, leading to brain damage or even death.Case presentation: A 34-year-old male patient was admitted with sudden chest pain. He was diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction and his chest X‑ray did not show pneumothorax. The patient after intubation presents emergent complications and was gave treatment.Discussion and Conclusions: Tension pneumothorax in tracheal intubation of emergency is a more rare but deleterious event, especially when predisposing factors cannot be known in view of acute profound hypoxemia. We collect several rare cases of tension pneumothorax of different etiology and drawing lessons from the past.
