Abstract
Demonstration of peritoneopleural communication in patients with cirrhotic ascites has an important impact on treatment planning. We studied 12 such patients and found presence of peritoneopleural communication in five. Two had bilateral, one right-side and two left-side, pleural effusion. Pleural fluid protein content was less than 2 g/dL in all patients.Entities:
