    AbstractA 37-year-old woman visited our hospital for right pneumothorax and was treated using a portable thoracic drainage kit(Thoracic Egg). A month later, she had relapse of right pneumothorax with onset of a menestration. Catamenial pneumothorax was diagnosed clinically and the surgical treatment and a hormone therapy were recommended. But she refused our proposal and desired a treatment using Thoracic Egg again. Thereafter, she relapsed pneumothorax 3 times, and was treated by rest or using Thoracic Egg. A Thoracic Egg was useful for management of spontaneous pneumothorax, but there is no report concerning the catamenial pneumothorax. Thoracic Egg may be a choice of treatment for catamenial pneumothorax of minor or moderate grade.
