Catamenial pneumothorax, a rare condition linked to menstruation, may stem from various causes like endometriosis or diaphragmatic issues. This review assesses current treatment strategies based on the underlying pathophysiology.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Gynecology
  • Pathophysiology

Context:

  • Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare condition characterized by recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax coinciding with menstruation.
  • Potential etiologies include retrograde menstruation, diaphragmatic defects, and pelvic endometriosis.

Purpose:

  • To review the existing literature on catamenial pneumothorax.
  • To critically evaluate treatment options in relation to proposed pathophysiological mechanisms.

Summary:

  • This review explores the pathophysiology of catamenial pneumothorax, considering factors such as genital tract air entry, prostaglandins, diaphragmatic fenestrations, and systemic endometriosis.
  • It synthesizes current knowledge and assesses therapeutic interventions based on these proposed causes.
