Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare condition. It may present with complications such as tension pneumothorax.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old nulliparous woman without a pre-existing diagnosis of endometriosis presented with recurrent episodes of chest tightness, breathlessness, and dizziness, occurring in relation to her menstrual cycle. Initial evaluation revealed a right-sided pneumothorax, requiring chest tube insertion. Although she experienced temporary improvement, symptoms recurred at the onset of her next menstrual period, with imaging confirming tension pneumothorax. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) identified diaphragmatic perforations and endometriotic lesions.
CONCLUSION: Timely diagnosis and treatment should be adopted in order to limit complications associated with catamenial pneumothorax.
