Spiral computerized tomography and video thoracoscopy in catamenial pneumothorax.

Abstract
Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare disease that is usually diagnosed on clinical grounds. Delay in diagnosis can lead to considerable morbidity. We describe a case in which spiral CT scan and videothoracoscopy led to early objective diagnosis and management.
