Paraquat (1,1-dimethyl-4, 4-bipyridylium dichloride) is an effective herbicide which is widely used all over the world and India is no exception. It is toxic to humans due to its redox activity which produces superoxide anions. Accidental or suicidal poisoning causes ulceration over the mouth and gastrointestinal tract and the majority of patients die of acute renal failure, hepatic failure and acute lung injury causing mainly lung brosis and consolidation. Treatment of paraquat poisoning is extremely difcult as it does not have any specic antidote. Treatment is mainly symptomatic. Very few patients may develop spontaneous pneumothorax, known as Daisley Barton syndrome, which further impairs survival of the patient Here we present a patient of paraquat induced spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax who survived with conservative treatment.

The postoperative pain management in the elderly is challenging due to comorbidities and change in physiology due to age itself. This limit the use of medication which include pain medication also. The fascia iliaca compartment block has been described in the literature for fracture of femur. It has even been safely used by non anaesthesiologist also. To our knowledge, we did not find any case report of continuous fascia iliaca compartment block published in Nepal. This is our first experience of successful continous fasicia iliaca compartment block in case of 89 year old lady with multiple co morbidities in whom traditional pain medication might be difficult to use. We encourage to practice this block which is both safe and easy to perform with good results.
