Thoracoscopic resection of cystic lesions and pleurodesis effectively controlled catamenial pneumothorax caused by pulmonary endometriosis in a 29-year-old pregnant woman.

One-sentence paraphrase of the abstract; not a substitute for reading it. No clinical advice. How this works

Abstract

We report the case of a 29-year-old woman who experienced recurrence of catamenial pneumothorax during pregnancy. Pneumothorax unrelated to the hormonal cycle occurred by pulmonary endometriosis. Thoracoscopic resection of cystic lesions and pleurodesis effectively controlled the pneumothorax.
