    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Pulmonology
    • Gynecology

    Background:

    • Spontaneous pneumothorax, the presence of air in the pleural space, can occur without apparent cause.
    • Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax linked to the menstrual cycle.

    Observation:

    • A 40-year-old female patient presented with recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax.
    • The pneumothorax episodes were observed to coincide with her menstrual cycle.

    Findings:

    • The case highlights a potential link between menstruation and the occurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax.
    • Discussion includes potential pathophysiological mechanisms and diagnostic considerations for this condition.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering gynecological factors in the differential diagnosis of spontaneous pneumothorax in women.
  • Further research into the mechanisms of catamenial pneumothorax may lead to improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
