Pneumothoraces often occur as a result of lung disease, chest trauma (including iatrogenic causes such as thoracentesis and mechanical ventilation, or spontaneously (Carey 2010). A primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) occurs suddenly without a history of precipitating illness or injury, whereas a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) occurs in the presence of existing pulmonary diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, asthma, tuberculosis, cystic fibrosis, and sarcoidosis (Buttero 2012). Catamenial pneumothorax is a rare form that affects women near the time of menstruation and is likely related to endometriosis. Catamenial pneumothorax is managed with surgical interventions and hormone therapy (Havelock et al 2010).
