Catamenial pneumothorax in a family: Case reports of two sisters and a brief literature review
We believe that this report of CP in three sisters suggests a potential genetic role in its occurrence, necessitating further investigation. A better understanding of genetic factors may improve our knowledge of the pathophysiology of CP, ultimately aiding in the management of the condition. We also want to emphasize the importance of collaboration between thoracic surgeons and gynecologists in managing CP, as well as improving prevention of its recurrence.
