Value Of The Thoracic Ultrasound In The Assessment Of Malignant Pleural Effusion.
AHMED ADEL IBRAHIM;
Abstract
This study was conducted prospectively on 53 patients with unexplained pleural effusion at Abbassia chest hospital during the period from December 2013 to August 2014. This study included 33 males & 20 females, with a mean±SD age 56.83 ± 11.47 year.
Chest ultrasound was done to every patient prior to the procedure ( thoracoscope, open pleural biopsy or Abrams needle) to detect the sonographic findings as regard pleural effusion, loculation, fibrin strands, and underlying lung lesions.
Also chest CT was done to every patient with exudative pleural effusion prior to the procedure to examine the concordance and discordance between it and chest ultrasound as regard pleural effusion, loculation, fibrin strands, and underlying lung lesions. Imaging findings were correlated with operative findings.
