Catamenial pneumothorax in a pregnant patient.
We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who experienced recurrence of catamenial pneumothorax during pregnancy. Pneumothorax unrelated to the hormonal cycle occurred by pulmonary endometriosis. Thoracoscopic resection of cystic lesions and pleurodesis effectively controlled the pneumothorax.
