Abstract
Spontaneous acute pneumothorax during pregnancy is extremely rare. A diagnosis of pneumothorax should be excluded in any pregnant women experiencing chest pain and dyspnea and must be confirmed radiographically. Treatment is the same as in non-pregnant women. Prognosis is generally good for both the mother and the fetus. We describe two cases of spontaneous pneumothorax during pregnancy with favorable maternal and perinatal outcomes.
