Abstract:
Two cases of catamenial pneumothorax are described. This syndrome is characterized by recurring right-sided pneumothorax associated with menstruation. In one of our patients endometriosis of the diaphragm could be diagnosed in a biopsy, taken during thoracoscopy. Some clinical, etiologic and therapeutic implications are discussed.
