This case report describes a pregnant woman who experienced two episodes of primary spontaneous pneumothorax during pregnancy. A 31-year-old, Caucasian pregnant woman (P2 G3 A1, gestational age 17+0 weeks), conceived naturally, body mass index 28, a former smoker, arrived at the hospital with dyspnea and chest pain. Pneumothorax was detected and managed with a chest tube. However, three days after discharge, pneumothorax reoccurred. Due to a persistent air leak, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed. Histological examination revealed enlarged airspaces without any signs of specific lung pathology. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient delivered a healthy newborn without complications. This case highlights the importance of multidisciplinary, individualized diagnostic and treatment options in pregnant patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure optimal outcomes for both mother and fetus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/omcr\/omag109","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,19]],"date-time":"2026-05-19T11:37:26Z","timestamp":1779190646000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["A case of surgically treated recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax during pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6344-8596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u017dymantas","family":"Jagelavi\u010dius","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Chest Diseases, Immunology, and Allergology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine , Santariskiu 2, Vilnius LT-08406 ,","place":["Lithuania"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jekaterina","family":"Strel\u010denko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine , Santariskiu 2, Vilnius LT-08406 ,","place":["Lithuania"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jelena","family":"Volochovi\u010d","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine , Santariskiu 2, Vilnius LT-08406 ,","place":["Lithuania"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edvardas","family":"\u017durauskas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Forensic Medicine, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine , P.
