Özet:

 


Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a type of recurrent pneumothorax that occurs during menstrual periods in women. CP is a special type of pneumothorax related with the menstrual period and the treatment consists of both medical and surgical methods. First line of surgical treatment is exploration of thorax via VATS and revealing the pathophysiological factors of CP. Despite the surgical treatment techniques, a postoperative recurrence rate of CP is 30%. We present a recurrent pneumothorax case who had 5 pneumothorax episodes and diagnosed as CP. A left VATS apical wedge resection and pleurectomy was performed and oral contraceptive was administered. and she did not have a recurrent pneumothorax episode for last 2 years.
