The paper reviews catamenial pneumothorax, a rare form of thoracic endometriosis syndrome in women of reproductive age, focusing on pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management, and describing that episodes occur around menstruation, often in the context of recurrent pneumothorax plus histories such as pelvic surgery, menstrual pain, and infertility. It states that diagnosis relies on comprehensive history and radiologic evaluation, with video laparoscopy as the definitive diagnostic method. Management is described as initial symptomatic pleural drainage, followed by minimally invasive operative therapy and post-initial hormonal therapy for 6–12 months, while noting that recurrence remains problematic and prognosis/overall impact are not fully understood. This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically catamenial pneumothorax as a manifestation within thoracic endometriosis syndrome.

Abstract

Pneumotoraks katamenial adalah kondisi langka yang termasuk dalam spektrum thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES), yaitu wanita usia reproduksi mengalami episode pneumotoraks spontan yang terjadi sekitar saat menstruasi. Meskipun jarang, perlu dicurigai pada kasus pneumotoraks berulang disertai riwayat operasi panggul, nyeri haid, dan infertilitas. Diagnosis mencakup anamnesis lengkap, pemeriksaan radiologis, serta video laparoskopi sebagai metode diagnostik definitif. Tata laksana melibatkan manajemen simtomatis drainase pleura, diikuti terapi operatif minimal invasif dan terapi hormonal selama 6-12 bulan setelah manajemen awal. Rekurensi pneumotoraks katamenial tetap menjadi masalah, dan prognosis serta dampaknya belum sepenuhnya dipahami.
