Overview
Hydropneumothorax implies presence of both air and fluid in the pleural space ( i.e. between two layers of pleura).
Causes
- Iatrogenic: Introduction of air during pleural fluid aspiration in effusion.
- Presence of gas forming organism.
- Trauma
Diagnosis
Chest X Ray
An erect chest xray will show air fluid level.The horizontal fluid level is usually well defined and extends across the whole length of hemithorax.
