  • Title: Thoracoscopic treatment of recurrent pneumothorax in a pregnant woman: a case of ectopic deciduosis.
    Author: Kim YD, Min KO, Moon SW.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2010 Oct; 58(7):429-30. PubMed ID: 20922628.
    Abstract:
    We report here on a case of recurrent pneumothorax during pregnancy, which was successfully treated with thoracoscopic surgery. This report describes the intraoperative and histopathological findings of diaphragmatic and pulmonary ectopic deciduosis. Our case highlights the need for all surgeons to explore the diaphragm when performing surgery to treat pneumothorax in a woman, even if she is pregnant.
