This case report describes a pregnant woman with a history of catamenial pneumothorax who experienced a spontaneous pneumothorax during labor and delivery. The authors highlight that the physiological changes associated with childbirth, such as increased intra-abdominal pressure, may trigger recurrence in patients with this specific thoracic condition linked to menstrual cycles. They conclude that awareness of this prior history is crucial for managing respiratory complications during obstetric care. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — specifically, catamenial pneumothorax is a rare extra-pelvic manifestation often caused by thoracic endometriosis syndrome.
