Cannabis-related emergencies in children and teens.
To examine the spectrum of emergency department presentations associated with cannabis use or misuse that are currently seen in the pediatric population.. There is a growing concern that pediatric emergency department visits related to cannabis are on the rise, especially given rapidly changing legislation on cannabis and its broad availability in certain areas. These concerns are substantiated in the current literature, as the evidence mounts for an array of emergency department presentations of intentional or accidental cannabis use. The range of presentations documented in the recent literature spans gastrointestinal, psychiatric and cardiorespiratory effects, in addition to traumatic injuries and accidental ingestions by younger children. Complications of chronic cannabis use, such as 'cannabis hyperemesis syndrome', depression, psychosis or cognitive impairment, are now recognized outcomes and even more are likely to emerge.. An array of cannabis-related symptoms is possible from acute use or exposure. Common presentations include acute intoxication, hyperemesis, depression and acute physical injuries from impaired psychomotor function. Uncommon presentations include cardiorespiratory effects, and a range of symptoms in young children that include hyperkinesis and coma. Clinical vigilance is needed to suspect and clinically diagnose cannabis exposure in the emergency department.

[Adverse effects of marijuana].
When admitted in an emergency unit, young patients often present acute neurological effects of smoked marijuana. Other chronic adverse effects of marijuana are probably underestimated: postural syncope, arteritis, chronic bronchitis, amnesia. Marijuana may trigger a myocardial infarction and have a vasospastic effect. Marijuana has impairing effects on driving ability. Smoked marijuana is a potential respiratory tract carcinogen.

[Fatal alveolar haemorrhage following a "bang" of cannabis].
The new methods of cannabis consumption (home made water pipe or "bang") may be responsible for fatal respiratory complications. We present a case, with fatal outcome, of a man of 19 years with no previous history other than an addiction to cannabis using "bang". He was admitted to intensive care with acute dyspnoea. A CT scan showed bilateral, diffuse alveolar shadowing. He was anaemic with an Hb of 9.3g/l. Bronchoalveolar lavage revealed massive alveolar haemorrhage. Investigations for infection and immunological disorder were negative and toxicology was negative except for cannabis. Antibiotic treatment was given and favourable progress allowed early discharge. Death occurred 15 days later due to alveolar haemorrhage following a further "bang" of cannabis. Autopsy showed toxic alveolar haemorrhage. The probable mechanism is pulmonary damage due to acid anhydrides released by the incomplete combustion of cannabis in contact with plastic. These acids have a double effect on the lungs: a direct toxicity with severe inflammation of the mucosa leading to alveolar haemorrhage and subsequently the acid anhydrides may lead to the syndrome of intra-alveolar haemorrhage and anaemia described in occupational lung diseases by Herbert in Oxford in 1979. It manifests itself by haemoptysis and intravascular haemolysis. We draw attention to the extremely serious potential consequences of new methods of using cannabis, particularly the use of "bang" in homemade plastic materials.

[The gastrointestinal concealment of illegal drugs].
The clinical, radiological and analytical aspects, and the complications observed in 16 cases of swallowing or insertion into the rectum of illicit drugs ("body-packing") are described. The drugs detected were heroin (6 cases), cocaine (5 cases) and cannabis (5 cases). In 15 cases abdominal plain X-rays were useful in the detection of the drug packages, their position and progression in the gastrointestinal tract and the presence of complications. The most valuable finding for radiologic diagnosis was the presence of a radiolucent halo surrounding the drug packages, or "double condom" sign, which was observed in 13/15 cases (87%). Urine analysis was positive for opiates or metabolites of cocaine in 7/9 cases (78%). One case presented acute heroin intoxication and three subjects gastric or intestinal obstruction requiring surgical treatment. In another case a packet, which had been retained in the stomach for five days, was extracted by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy using a Dormia basket with no complications.
