Abstract

Catamenial pneumothorax, a variant of spontaneous pneumothorax occurs exclusively in women of menstrual age. Catamenial pneumothorax is associated with a high rate of recurrence. The etiology and pathogenesis is enigmatic. We describe the case of a 42-year-old woman with right-sided catamenial pneumothorax recurring four times, caused by ectopic endometriosis in the pleural layers which was confirmed histopathologically. Surgical treatment should be accomplished during menstruation for optimal visualization of pleurodiaphragmatic endometriosis.

摘要

月经性气胸是自发性气胸的一种变体，仅发生于育龄期女性。月经性气胸的复发率很高。其病因和发病机制尚不明确。我们报告一例42岁女性右侧月经性气胸反复发作四次的病例，其病因是胸膜层的异位子宫内膜症，这一点已通过组织病理学得到证实。手术治疗应在月经期间进行，以便最佳地观察胸膜膈肌子宫内膜异位症。
