Abstract

Recurrent pneumothorax was associated with the menstrual cycle in two women 20 to 30 years age; this is referred to as catamenial pneumothorax. This form of pneumothorax occurs within 72 hours before or after the onset of menstruation. The pathophysiology underlying this condition is unknown. We report here on two cases of catamenial pneumothorax that were successfully treated by partial resection of the diaphragm.

이십대에서 삼십대 사이의 여성에서 월경주기와 연관되어 반복적으로 기흉이 발생하는 경우 월경성 기흉과 관련되어 있을 수 있다. 월경성 기흉은 월경의 시작 전후 72시간 이내 반복적으로 발생하는 기흉으로 그 원인과 병태생리가 아직 확립되지 않은 드문 질환이다. 저자들은 2명의 여자 환자에서 발생한 월경성 기흉에 대하여 자궁내막증 및 횡격막 결손을 포함하는 횡격막 부분 절제술을 통한 치료를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.
