Self-inflicted intramyocardial injury with a sewing needle: a rare cause of pneumothorax.

Abstract

An unusual case of a self-inflicted intracardiac injury with a sewing needle caused a pneumothorax. Fewer than ten cases of needles in the heart have been reported in the recent medical literature; none of these cases was associated with presence of a pneumothorax. The literature regarding self-inflicted injury with needles in the heart is reviewed.
