Abstract
Catamenial pneumothorax is a rarely encountered entity characterized by recurrent pneumothorax concurrent with menstruation. Numerous mechanisms have been postulated in the etiology of catamenial pneumothorax and treatment is still controversial. We report a case of a catamenial pneumothorax successfully treated with a Gn-RH analogue supporting the efficacy of this regimen and the endometriosis theory as an underlying cause of the disease.
