ABSTRACT
Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax associated with menstrual cycle was described first by Maurer in 1958. Lilington and colleague established the term 'catamenial pneumothorax' and reported 5 patients in 1972. Catamenial pneumothorax is defined as recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring within 72 hours before or after the onset of menstruation, but the pathophysiology is not clearly understood. We report a recent experience of 37 years-old woman with catamenial pneumothorax, who was treated by thoracoscopic surgery.
