Primary spontaneous pneumothorax is defined as the presence of air in the pleural space with no precipitating cause and is four times less likely to occur in women than in men1,2. Common causes for spontaneous pneumothorax in females include: interstitial pneumonia, primary lung cancer and lung metastasis, and asthma3.  An uncommon cause for secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is catamenial pneumothorax, which is associated with thoracic endometriosis. The word “catamenial” is derived from the greek word “katamenios” meaning monthly recurrence.4 Catamenial pneumothorax refers to recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax during menstruation in the absence of concomitant respiratory disease5.

Advanced Liver Cirrhosis

Hepatic hydrothorax is a transudative pleural effusion which presents in 5-10% patients with liver cirrhosis. Although fairly uncommon, it is associated with higher morbidity and lower survival rate. The mechanism is yet to be understood fully, but the most widely accepted pathogenesis involves the presence of portal hypertension, diaphragmatic defects, and negative intrathoracal pressure, all of which lead to the formation of unidirectional passage of ascitic fluid from peritoneal cavity into pleural space. Due to its origin, the pleural effusion has similar characteristics to ascitic fluid. We herein report the case of a 60-year-old woman with advanced liver cirrhosis and right-sided moderate hepatic hydrothorax. Treatment given to the patient includes diuretics, sodium restriction, and repeated thoracentesis. Subsequent evaluation of the patient revealed improvement both clinically and radiologically.

It may occur as a result of trauma or spontaneously, in which case it is further subdivided into primary and secondary. The treatment, response to therapy, and prognosis in these two groups is quite different, and establishing the category is essential....
