Abstract
- A 60-year old male patient admitted with complaints of dyspnea and pleuritic chest pain. The chest X-ray demonstrated right pleural effusion. We planed to do the conventional thoracentesis to evaluate the characteristics of pleural effusion and to relieve the symptom of the patient. Focal reexpansion pulmonary edema was seen on the follow-up chest X-ray. After the 5-day conservative management, the patient recovered without any complications.
