Abstract
El neumotórax catamenial es una rara entidad caracterizada por la aparición de aire en el espacio pleural durante la menstruación. Su presentación clínica es muy variada, se asocia a endometriosis, y su diagnóstico se establece frecuentemente por las manifestaciones clínicas. El tratamiento de esta patología es controvertido, y se asocia a altas tasas de recurrencia. Presentamos un caso clínico de neumotórax recurrente en una paciente de 24 años, que presentó neumotórax derecho de repetición que coincidía con la menstruación, y que requirió tratamiento quirúrgico; se realizó el diagnóstico clínico de neumotórax catamenial. Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare entity characterized by air in the pleural space during menstruation. The clinical manifestations are highly varied. There is often associated endometriosis and diagnosis is frequently established by clinical findings. The therapy of this entity is controversial and is associated with high recurrence rates. We report a case of recurrent pneumothorax in a 24-year-old woman with recurrent right pneumothorax during menstruation requiring surgical treatment. The clinical diagnosis was catamenial pneumothorax.
