Pneumoperitoneum with catamenial pneumothorax.

Catamenial hemoptysis accompanied by subcutaneous endometriosis treated with combination therapy

“…The following theoretical mechanisms have been suggested as the pathogenesis of TES: 1) the reflux of endometrial tissue through the fallopian tube and migration via the diaphragmatic defect [23], and 2) cellular embolism of the decidua tissue through the pelvic vessels [45]. The right dominance of the pneumothorax and hemothorax supports the first theoretical mechanism.…”

Apport de l’étude immuno-histochimique dans les localisations intrathoraciques de l’endométriose : à propos de huit cas

“…Elles peuvent aussi être acquises, creusées par la nécrose cyclique des implants d'endomètre à la surface abdominale du diaphragme. Ce concept de diaphragme poreux explique également la prédominance du côté droit de survenue du pneumothorax [6,[20][21][22][23]. La théo-rie d'une métaplasie coelomique a longtemps été évoquée bien que ne pouvant expliquer les possibles localisations intrapulmonaires ou le côté droit prédominant [24].…”

Catamenial Pneumothorax

“…DOI: http://dx.doi.org /10.5772/intechopen.82564 There are few reports in the literature regarding transgenital-transdiaphragmatic passage of air theory. There are rare cases reporting simultaneous [33,34] or undulating episodes CPX and pneumoperitoneum [35], and also case reports defining radiologic findings of small diaphragmatic defects associated with ipsilateral CPX [21]. But repeated episodes of pneumothorax after hysterectomy, fallopian tube ligation, and diaphragmatic resection provide evidence that all the CPX cases can be explained by this theory [7,24,29,36].…”
