Abstract
Spontaneous pneumothorax during pregnancy is a rare pathological condition. Few cases have been reported previously in the literature. There is no universal guideline for the management of this condition yet. We report a case of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax during twin pregnancy in a 30-year-old woman. Surgical treatment under video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) was successfully performed, without subsequent pneumothorax recurrence.Entities:
