Abstract:

The problem of etiologic diagnosis of bilateral pleural effusions is important because of the relatively large number and variety of diseases accompanied by this syndrome, the complexity of diagnosis verification, and the frequent diagnostic errors. The aim of this review is to describe the spectrum of diseases causing bilateral pleural effusion and to consider a set of diagnostic measures to clarify the etiology of the process. Analysis of 60 literature sources showed that the most common causes of bilateral transudative pleural effusions are cardiac, hepatic, and renal insufficiency. Exudati

Abstract:

Transudative pleural effusions develop because the distribution of hydrostatic and oncotic pressure across the pleura is altered, so that the rate of pleural fluid formation exceeds that of its reabsorption. They are characterized by a low cell and protein content. Congestive heart failure is the most common cause of transudative effusion. The fluid that accumulates in a hepatic hydrothorax, urinothorax, during peritoneal dialysis, and in many patients with nephrotic syndrome may also have the characteristics of a transudate. The development of a transudative effusion indicates that the pleura

Post-cardiac injury syndrome (PCIS) is presumed to be an immune-mediated process. It affects the pericardium and, to a lesser extent, the epicardium, myocardium, and pleura. It has been rarely reported following pacemaker insertion with an estimated incidence of 1% to 2%. We present the case of a 62-year-old female who developed PCIS 8 weeks following pacemaker insertion. She presented with impending cardiac tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis; recurrent pleural effusions subsequently complicated her condition. The pleural effusion recurred despite trials of steroids, eventually requiring t

<em>Pleural effusion is nothing but an enormous accumulation of the fluid. Transudativre pleural effusion is related to the leakage of fluid into pleural space. Pleural effusion is grouped into many stages namely exudative, fibrino purulent and organization type. Clinical features of pleural effusion are chest pain, drug as well as non-productive cough and dyspnea. Causes of transudative (watery fluid) pleural effusion are cirrhosis and heart failure. Causes of exudative (protein rich fluid) effusion are cancer, inflammatory disease. Diagnosis is based on Chest X ray, Computed tomography (CT)

Abstract:

Introduction/Aim: Pleural effusions are rarely seen on computerized tomography (CT) or radiography (X-ray) images of the chest, in coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19). When present, they usually occur late in the course of the disease; they are mostly unilateral but can also be bilateral, and are absorbed after two days. Studies have also shown that pleural effusions occur primarily in the elderly and individuals with underlying respiratory disease. The incidence of respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome, as well as the mortality rates are higher in patients with pleura

Abstract:

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is one of the most common chronic renal disorders in children. Associated bilateral pleural effusion is common due to the transudative process as a result of hypoalbuminemia. However, unilateral pleural effusion is a rare phenomenon and at times, unresponsive even when the patients are in remission. Here, we report two cases of frequent relapse nephrotic syndrome presented as persistent unilateral pleural effusion responsive to chemical pleurodesis, which was done with bleomycin along with normal saline.

Abstract:

Treatment of pleural effusion with intrapleural administration of fibrinolytic drugs has proven to be efficient and secure. Patients with pleural effusion who receive streptokinase instillations in conjunction with chest tube draining avoid surgery and have better outcomes. Its application in multiloculated pleural effusion, which develops as a nephrotic syndrome consequence, has only occasionally been documented. We describe a case of multiloculated pleural effusion that did not react to conventional chest tube drainage but resolved completely and dramatically in response to intrapleural stre

Abstract:

Ovarian cancer is the presence of one or multiple tumors, which appears in one or both ovaries. These tumors are usually classified as epithelial and non-epithelial. Sex cord-stromal tumors are a group of benign and malignant neoplasms that develop from the sexual cord. Many are functional and therefore have hormonal secretions. Meigs syndrome is defined by the presence of pleural effusion and ascites in association with an ovarian tumor. We present a case of a 55 years old patient who was admitted due to a pelvic tumor, exudative pleural effusion that was difficult to manage, and ascites. A b

Abstract:

Management of malignant pleural effusion is a medical challenge, and several methods have been proposed to deal with it including thoracentesis, indwelling pleural catheter placement, and chemical or mechanical pleurodesis. Each method, however, has its advantages and disadvantages. Talc pleurodesis is generally recognized as the most effective and safest method for the induction of chemical pleurodesis. However, in rare cases, it can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In this article, we report the case of a patient with metastatic adenocarcinoma to the pleura who presents wi

ABSTRACT The nephrotic syndrome presents clinically with anasarca characterized by peripheral edema, ascites, pleural effusion, or rarely pericardial effusions. The anasarca disappears with adequate diuretic therapy if there is no diuretic resistance or with disease remission. However, these patients may sometimes experience persistent unusual fluid collection in the third space, viz. peritoneal cavity, pleural cavity, and pericardial cavity, despite adequate diuretic response or disease remission, which may be because of coexisting different etiology that is leading to unusual fluid collectio
