Hepatic hydrothorax is defined as a transudative pleural effusion, usually greater than 500 mL, in patients with portal hypertension without any other underlying primary cardiopulmonary cause. It develops most likely because of diaphragmatic defects that allow for passage of fluid from the peritoneal space to the pleural space.

Ascites is a common manifestation of portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis. Approximately 5% of patients with cirrhosis may develop a pleural effusion. This is usually right sided. In the absence of cardiac or lung disease, the presence of a pleural effusion in a cirrhotic patient is known as hepatic hydrothorax.

Twelve cases of right hepatic hydrothorax are reported. Tc-99m SC that was injected intraperitoneally and intrapleurally provided evidence of a one-way flow of fluid from the peritoneal to the pleural cavity. Eight patients, whose hydrothorax was refractory to sodium restriction, diuretics and repeated thoracenteses, were treated by endopleural ...

Hepatic hydrothorax was diagnosed in four patients with liver cirrhosis, three men aged 65, 41, and 48 and a woman aged 48. They presented with either right-sided or bilateral pleural-fluid accumulations in the absence of cardiopulmonary disease. In the first man with no concurrent ascites, the disorder was missed, resulting in prolonged chest tube ...

SummaryPatients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension often have abnormal extracellular fluid volume regulation, resulting in accumulation of fluid as ascites, oedema or pleural effusion. These complications carry a poor prognosis with nearly half of the patients with ascites dying in the ensuing 2–3 years. In contrast to what happens in the abdominal

Hepatic Hydrothorax Scintigraphic Confirmation
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1995The development of a large hydrothorax (usually on the right side) in patients with advanced hepatic cirrhosis and in the absence of clinical ascites is called hepatic hydrothorax. The condition is because of a transdiaphragmatic communication between the peritoneal and pleural cavities through defects in the tendinous portion of the diaphragm.

Significant pleural effusions are infrequently noted in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. A large effusion (hepatic hydrothorax) occasionally appears during the course of the disease. The fluid in the pleural space is believed to be derived from ascitic fluid that may accompany hepatic cirrhosis.

We describe a case of tension hydrothorax in a patient with a massive left pleural effusion secondary to an empyema. Tension hydrothorax is uncommon, but important to recognize because, left untreated, this condition may lead to severe hemodynamic instability and death.
