Description
On the basis of experience with 2 patients of our own and in a review of the literature, we divide catamenial pneumothorax into 3 groups according to the intrathoracic findings (Group I: diaphragmatic hole, endometriosis; Group II: no abnormal findings; Group III: bulla bleb).<br>To differentiate from the usual idiopathic spontaneous pneumothorax accidentally coincident with menstruation, we propose the following diagnostic criteria:<br>Pneumothorax occurrs between 3 days before and 5 days after the begining of menstrual flow.<br>More than 3 episodes with a frequency of once or more within 2 months may be necessary for a diagnosis of “catamenial”.<br>If the episodes are less frequent, diaphragmatic lesions (Group I) or lack of bleb (Group II) must be proved.
