Catamenial pneumothorax, a rare endometriosis complication, is presented in this case study. Treatment involved a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug targeting prostaglandin synthesis.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Gynecologic Pathology

Background:

  • Catamenial pneumothorax (CPT) is a rare condition linked to endometriosis.
  • It presents as recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax coinciding with menstruation.

Observation:

  • This case report details a classic presentation of catamenial pneumothorax.
  • The patient experienced symptoms consistent with CPT.

Findings:

  • The underlying cause was identified as systemic endometriosis.
  • A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug inhibiting prostaglandin synthetase was administered.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering endometriosis in women with recurrent pneumothorax.
