The clinical course of primary fetal hydrothorax is unpredictable. Whereas smaller unilateral effusions might remain stable or even regress, this is rarely the case with larger collections. Bilateral effusions, hydrops, preterm delivery and the lack of antenatal therapy are all associated with poor outcome.

Pleural effusions are common in cancer patients, developing either from the malignant condition or from unrelated causes, such as congestive heart failure, pulmonary infarction, or infection. Diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion rests on demonstration of the presence of malignant cells in the pleural fluid or pleural biopsy specimen.

Tuberculous pleural effusion is one of the most common forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The immediate cause of the effusion is a delayed hypersensitivity response to mycobacterial antigens in the pleural space. For this reason microbiological analyses are often negative and limited by the lengthy delay in obtaining results. In areas with high

Twenty-seven patients with perplexing pleural effusion were studied to determine clinical outcome. The value of performing pleuroscopic examination or open pleural biopsy (or both) in search of a diagnosis was assessed. After a mean follow-up period of six months, a diagnosis was reached in 16 patients, while 11 patients had no diagnosis after a mean ...

Various diseases of the gastrointestinal tract at times are accompanied by an exudative pleural effusion. The exudative pleural effusions resulting from esophageal perforation, pancreatic disease, subphrenic abscess, intrahepatic abscess, splenic abscess, abdominal operations, and diaphragmatic hernia are discussed in this article.

The presence of pleural effusions is a common clinical problem in patients with neoplastic disease. At the time of diagnosis, approximately 15% of lung cancer patients have a pleural effusion (Naito et al. 1997).Twenty to 50% of patients with advanced or disseminated lung cancer develop a pleural effusion during the course of the ir disease (Emerson et

The breadth of diagnostic possibilities with pleural effusion is well known. The reported prevalence of various causes in recent series has varied greatly, depending to some extent upon the interests of the observer and influenced in large part by the type of reporting institution.
