Abstract
Vaping-associated spontaneous pneumothorax (VASP) is a new diagnosis created to describe spontaneous pneumothorax associated with the use of vape devices. We describe a case of bilateral VASP in a previously healthy 15-year-old male who was vaping cannabis concentrate. This is the first case report of VASP involving the sole usage of cannabis concentrate. This patient reported vaping for only 6 months before initial presentation. As rates of vaping cannabis concentrate increase among adolescents, VASP should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chest pain in adolescents who vape nicotine or cannabis.
