Abstract
Catamenial pneumothorax is an uncommon disease whose management is not consensual. We report the case of a patient who experienced several episodes of pneumothorax. She was initially treated by repair of diaphragmatic defects and hormonal treatment. During the therapeutic amenorrhea, no recurrence occurred. However, each cessation of medical therapy was followed by recurrence. Finally, talc pleurodesis and tubal ligature were performed without any recurrence in the subsequent 12 months. This report outlines the great difficulties that can be encountered in the management of patients with catamenial pneumothorax.
