Title: Imaging of small amounts of pleural fluid. Part one - small pleural effusions Authors: ID Kocijančič, Igor (Author) Files: PDF - Presentation file, download (2,15 MB) MD5: A2EA650227EA4CF3A03E80619A5F27E6   Language: English Typology: 1.02 - Review Article Organization: OI - Institute of Oncology Abstract: Background. Small pleural effusions are not readily identified on conventionalradiographic views of the chest, but may be an important finding, sometimes leading, via thoracocentesis, to a definitive diagnosis of pleural carcinomatosis, infection or transudate. A small meniscus sign and a medial displacement of the costophrenic angle are the only subtle signs of small accumulations of fluid on posteroanterior chest X-rays. On lateral views the finding of a small meniscus sign in the posterior costophrenic angle is the sign of small pleural effusion. Conclusions. Lateral decubitus chest radiographs were used for many years for the diagnosis of small pleural effusions. In last decades ultrasonography of pleural space becomes a leading real-time method for demonstrating small pleural effusions.

Title:	[Majhna količina proste plevralne tekočine. Prvi del - majhen plevralni izliv]
Abstract:	Izhodišča. Majhne plevralne izlive običajni pregledni posnetki prsnih organov redko odkrijejo. Tak izvid pa je pomemben, saj lahko skupaj s probatorno punkcijo vodi do končne diagnoze karcinomatoze, vnetja ali transudata. Majhen rentgentski znak meniskusa in medialni pomik frenikokostalnega recesusa sta edina, ki nakazujeta možnost manjše količine plevralne tekočine na posnetku prsnih organov stoje. Na stranskem posnetku stoje je majhen meniskus v posteriornem frenikokostalnem recesusu znak majhnega plevralnega izliva. Zaključki. Že vrsto let uporabljamo za dokazovanje majhnih količin proste plevralne tekočine posnetke prsnih organov leže na boku. V zadnjem desetletju pa je vodilna metoda prikazovanja majhnih plevralnih izlivov ultrazvočni pregled plevralnega prostora.
