    Abstract:
    A case of acute silicosis complicating as spontaneous pneumomediastinum, bilateral pneumothorax and subcutaneous emphysema is described in a 35-year-old male engaged in stone crusher unit.

This case is unique one as all these 3 complications at the same time are very uncommon in acute silicosis.
