Although it is a minimally invasive procedure it is not exempt from complications, most common minor complications such as infections or local pain have been described, as well as less frequently but potentially fatal complications such as subarachnoid hemorrhage and tension pneumothorax.

AB  - Acupuncture is an alternative medicine, actually it has had a greater acceptance in our continent being use for multiple therapeutic purposes. Although it is a minimally invasive procedure it is not exempt from complications, most common minor complications such as infections or local pain have been described, as well as less frequently but potentially fatal complications such as subarachnoid hemorrhage and tension pneumothorax. We report a case of pneumothorax secondary to acupuncture in a patient who was treated for carpal tunnel syndrome.
