Tension hydrothorax is rare, with few cases reported in the literature dating back to the late 1960s. We report a case of tension hydrothorax in a patient with a ventriculopleural shunt who improved dramatically after thoracentesis. The discussion includes a brief review of ventriculopleural shunts and pleural physiology.
张力性胸腔积液较为罕见,自20世纪60年代末以来,文献中报道的病例很少。我们报告一例患有脑室 - 胸膜分流术的患者发生张力性胸腔积液,该患者在胸腔穿刺术后病情显著改善。讨论内容包括对脑室 - 胸膜分流术和胸膜生理学的简要回顾。
