摘要
Hepatic hydrothorax is a relatively infrequent but po- tentially serious complication of liver cirrhosis that often causes respiratory dysfunction. Several hypotheses for the development of hepatic hydrothorax have been sug- gested to explain a transdiaphragmatic shift of ascitic fluid through small defects between the peritoneal cavity and the pleural space. However, the rapid development of hydrothorax within several hours is seldom encoun- tered. In addition, the causal factors for rapid passage of ascitic fluid into the pleural cavity are unknown. This report describes a patient with liver cirrhosis who suf- fered rapid development of a hydrothorax after manual compression of the abdomen.
肝的水疗院胸是经常引起呼吸机能障碍的肝肝硬化的相对很少发生却潜在地严肃的复杂并发症。为肝的水疗院胸的开发的几个假设被建议了通过在腹洞和肋膜的空格之间的小缺点解释腹水的 transdiaphragmatic 移动。然而，在几个小时以内的水疗院胸的快速的发展很少被遇到。另外，为进胸膜腔的腹水的快速的经过的原因的因素是未知的。这份报告与肝肝硬化描述一个病人在腹部的用手的压缩以后承受了水疗院胸的快速的开发。
