Collection of excess fluid in the pleural space.
a collection of fluid around the lung, filling the space between the lung and
a collection of fluid greater than normal between the parietal and visceral pleura
a collection of fluid next to the lung
a collection of fluid within the pleural cavity, a thin space that exists between the chest wall and the lungs
a fluid collection around the inflamed lung
an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the
an accumulation of excess fluid between the layers of the membrane that lines the lungs and chest cavity
an accumulation of fluid within the pleural space
an increased amount of fluid in the pleural cavity, which then presses on the lungs and makes breathing difficult
abnormal collection of fluid in the pleural space between the lung and the chest wall
Accumulation of fluid in the lungs.
This is a collection of fluid next to the Lungs between the two layers of Pleura.
the presence of fluid in the pleural cavity.
Escape of fluid into the space outside the lungs and inside the chest wall.
accumulation of fluid between the lining of the lung and the chest cavity.
a collection of fluid between the lung and chest wall.
Cells (fluid) can ooze or weep from the lung tissue into the space between the lungs and the chest cavity (pleural space) causing a pleural effusion. The effusion fluid can be clear or bloody. Pleural effusions might be an early sign of asbestos exposure or mesothelioma and should be evaluated.
fluid that collects in the pleural space, outside the lung.
increased amounts of fluid within the pleural cavity usually due to inflammation.
An abnormal accumulation of fluid within the pleural cavity. It can be consist of watery fluid that accompanies serious heart failure, inflammatory cells and proteins that accompanies lung infection, and chylous lymphatic fluid that can occur in lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).
A collection of fluid between the lungs and the interior wall of the chest (pleural cavity).
fluid collecting in the pleural cavity around the lung.
A collection of fluid (or blood) in the pleural space (in one side of the chest cavity around the lung)
Abnormal collection of fluid between the sheets of skin (pleura) which cover the lungs. Causes difficulty breathing.
The presence of fluid in the membrane cavity that surrounds the lungs.
Excess fluid between the two membranes that envelop the lungs. These membranes are called the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura wraps around the lung while the parietal pleura lines the inner chest wall. There is normally a small quantity (about 3 to 4 teaspoons) of fluid that is spread thinly over the visceral and parietal pleurae and acts as a lubricant between the two membranes. Any significant increase in the quantity of pleural fluid is a pleural effusion. See the entire definition of Pleural effusion
fluid buildup in the lungs' pleural space.
The collection of fluid in the space between the pleura (the lining of the lungs) and the general space inside the chest, also known as the chest cavity.
An abnormal collection of fluid between the thin layers of tissue (pleura) lining the lung and the wall of the chest cavity.
A build up of fluid around the lungs. Some cancers can cause this build up. The fluid can be drained off through a tube, to make the patient feel more comfortable.
Fluid in the thoracic cavity between the visceral and parietal pleura
Pleural effusion is excess fluid that accumulates in the pleural cavity, the fluid-filled space that surrounds the lungs.
