Overview
Catamenial pneumothorax is defined as spontaneous pneumothorax in women of reproductive age occurring in conjunction with the menstrual cycle. The authors present 4 cases of this condition treated in our department during the past ten years. The causes leading to the development of this condition and optimal treatment procedures are also discussed.
Key words:
