Abstract
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a specific type of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. It is characterized by a temporal relationship with menses. CP is considered to be the most frequent symptom of thoracic endometriosis. It occurs mainly in women above 30 years of age and is typically right sided. The authors reviewed the current literature on this entity. The hypotheses on its pathogenesis and the diagnostic possibilities and therapeutic options are discussed.
