Description

Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare type of spontaneous pneumothorax, developed in women in reproductive age due to the presence of thoracic endometriosis. Medical history is the key to the correct diagnosis. Treatment combines methods of thoracic surgery, together with hormonal substitution therapy and, in rare cases, also gynecological operation. We present the case report of young woman with spontaneous pneumothorax due to thoracic endometriosis. (author)
