Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare clinical entity. The aetiology of this syndrome is unknown and lack of consistent findings have led to different aetiological theories. We present a 32-year old woman with catamenial pneumothorax and its recurrence after surgical management. A detailed review of the literature since the first description is also presented.
