“…Alifano et al advocate for chemical talc pleurodesis in all cases of catamenial pneumothorax due to the lower recurrence rate compared with more limited approaches . Others have reported similar success with abrasive mechanical pleurodesis or pleurectomy . The final key component of surgical treatment is closure of diaphragmatic defects.…”

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare disorder presenting with catamenial pneumothorax, hemothorax, hemoptysis or pulmonary nodules. Bilateral involvement is uncommon, and only a very few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a case of bilateral catamenial hemothorax in a patient with recurrent thoracic endometriosis. Despite multiple surgical interventions, the patient continued to develop hemopneumothorax coinciding with menses. Remission was finally achieved with the addition of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, highlighting the effectiveness of postoperative adjuvant hormone therapy and supporting a combined surgical and medical approach in the treatment of TES in patients who desire future fertility.

“…Today, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of catamenial pneumothorax, but surgical techniques differ, and include resection of the diaphragm or plication of the fenestrations identified during thoracoscopy, placement of mesh over the fenestrations, repair with surgical adhesive (eg, BioGlue), removal of the endometrial foci, and pleurodesis. [3][4][5][6]9 The postoperative recurrence rate is 30 -40%. To prevent recurrence, diaphragmatic defects should certainly be closed, when necessary the diaphragm should be excised, and pleurodesis or pleurectomy should be included.…”

“…Однако поскольку на формирование плевродеза уходит от 1 до 3 мес, представляется необходимым применение гормональной терапии для прекращения менструаций на указанный срок. Полученные данные свидетельствуют об эффективности такой тактики при своевременном начале гормональной терапии и продолжении её до формирования устойчивого плевродеза, что вполне согласуется с данными современных исследований [5,6,11,13,15].

OBJECTIVE. The article analyzed the experience of treatment of endometriosis-related pneumothorax (ERP). MATERIAL AND METHODS. The diagnosis of ERP was detected in 30 women at the period from 2004 to 2015. A control group consisted of 149 women. RESULTS. Statistically significant differences associated with presence of ERP were the elder age, right-side localization and recurrence course of disease. Diaphragmatic fenestrations and endometriotic ectopy and their combinations were specific findings in ERP-group. This group of patients characterized by frequent recurrences and higher rate of complications. The most effective method of treatment of ERP was diaphragm resection with pleurectomy and hormone therapy from 3 to 6 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS. Endometriosis-related pneumothorax could cause up to 34 % cases of spontaneous pneumothorax in women of reproductive age. Diaphragmatic fenestrations and endometriotic lesions were specific signs of EAP. Direct visual examination of the pleural cavity was inevitable for reliable diagnostics of the disease. Surgical treatment of ERP was determined by higher rates of complication and recurrence. Postoperative hormone therapy could significantly improve the results of surgical treatment of ERP.
