A case of catamenial pneumothorax in a 17-year-old girl is presented. It is the first reported case in a Nigerian. Pleural blebs were found at thoracotomy and good response to dry sponge pleurodesis has been confirmed. The possibility of missed diagnosis of this entity in an environment where spontaneous pneumothorax is not uncommon is discussed.
