RESUMEN
El neumotórax catamenial es de rara presentación. Su curso clínico es variable, y generalmente recurre. Presentamos un caso en una paciente de 35 años con cinco episodios de neumotórax tratados en otra institución. Se diagnosticó y resolvió por videotoracoscopia. Realizamos plicatura diafragmática y pleurodesis. La anatomía patológica confirmó el diagnóstico. Presenta muy buena evolución sin recidivas hasta el día de la fecha. Esta entidad nosológica debe ser considerada en todo neumotórax recidivante de la mujer con periodos menstruales.
ABSTRACT
Catamenial pneumothorax is of rare presentation. Its clinical course is variable, and it usually recurs. We present a case of a 35 year-old patient with five episodes of pneumothorax previously treated in another institution. Videothoracoscopy was used for diagnosis and treatment, which included a diaphragmatic plication followed by pleurodesis. The anatomopathology confirmed the diagnosis. Postoperative curse was uneventful up to date. Catamenial etiology should be considered in all recurrent pneumothorax occurring in women with menstrual periods.
