Abstract

We report the case of a patient with pelvic endometriosis and recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces who had thoracotomy and diagnostic laparoscopy, with subsequent acute pulmonary edema. Potential causes are discussed. After a thorough literature search, we believe this to be the first case in which thoracotomy has been combined with diagnostic laparoscopy.
