Abstract

Recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax associated with menstrual cycle was described first by Maurer in 1958. Lilington and colleague established the term 'catamenial pneumothorax' and reported 5 patients in 1972. Catamenial pneumothorax is defined as recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring within 72 hours before or after the onset of menstruation, but the pathophysiology is not clearly understood, We report a recent experience of 37 years-old woman with catamenial pneumothorax, who was treated by thoracoscopic surgery.

월경과 동반되는 재발성 자연 기흉은 1958년 Maurer 등에 의해 최초로 기술되었으며 후에 Lillington 등은 이 증후군을 월경성 기흉이라 명명하고 1972년 5명의 환자를 보고한 바 있다. 월경성 기흉은 가임기 여성에서 월경 시작 전후 72시간 내에 발생하는 질환으로 대부분의 경우 우측에서 재발성으로 발병하나 그 발생기전은 아직 명확하지 않은 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 최근 37세 여자 환자에 발생한 월경성 기흉에 대하여 흉강경 수술로 치료하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
