Fetal Pleural Effusion
Unlike trace pericardial fluid, which can be seen in normal fetuses, any fluid in the pleural space is abnormal.1,2 The incidence of fetal pleural effusion is unknown, but has been estimated to occur in 1 in 15,000 pregnancies in tertiary care centers.2,3,29 The actual incidence of primary fetal hydrothorax may be even higher if one considers that in many cases the condition may remain undiagno...

Here, we present two neonates with isolated congenital pleural effusion, one of which was associated with Down syndrome and the other with empyema an...
متن کاملThoraco-amniotic shunting for fetal pleural effusion--a case series.
Fetal pleural effusion is a rare occurrence, with an incidence of 1 per 10-15,000 pregnancies. The prognosis is related to the underlying cause and is often poor. There is increasing evidence that in utero therapy with thoraco-amniotic shunting improves prognosis by allowing lung expansion thereby preventing hydrops and pulmonary hypoplasia. This is a review of all cases of fetal pleural effusi...
متن کاملApproach to undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion: the diagnostic yield of blind pleural biopsy
Background: Blind percutaneous pleural biopsy has traditionally been performed to investigate the etiology of exudative pleural effusion in which the initial thoracocentesis has been non- diagnostic. In view of the increasing use of image-guided and thoracoscopic pleural biopsies, this study examined the role of blind Abrams pleural biopsy in the investigation of the exudative pleural effusion ...
