We describe 2 patients with catatonia who developed the complication of pneumothorax, the accumulation of air in the pleural cavity leading to collapse of a lung. Electroconvulsive therapy was safely administered to resolve catatonia, with special attention to managing pneumothorax by insertion of a thoracostomy tube and careful management of ventilation.
