In patients with cirrhosis of the liver, ascites is a common symptom, some of these patients will also present hydrothorax. Under rare circumstances patients with liver cirrhosis develop hydrothorax without showing any signs of ascites. This study presents one such case and shows autopsy findings consistent with hepatic hydrothorax without ascites. Furthermore, we present CT imaging which shows the possible cause of death in the case of severe hydrothorax.
在肝硬化患者中，腹水是一种常见症状，其中一些患者还会出现胸腔积液。在极少数情况下，肝硬化患者会出现没有任何腹水迹象的胸腔积液。本研究介绍了这样一个病例，并展示了与无腹水性肝性胸水一致的尸检结果。此外，我们还展示了 CT 影像学检查，该检查显示了严重胸腔积液导致死亡的可能原因。
