    A case of isolated unilateral congenital hydrothorax with unknown etiology, graduated abortion for medical reasons in 23 weeks. The patient was later covered by antenatal care and during the examination one foetus with the massive right-sided hydrothorax was found, (diagnosed by ultrasonography and NMR) The incidence of congenital fetal hydrothorax is estimated at approximately 1 in 15,000 pregnancies. Early ultrasound diagnosis is of paramount importance for the adequate monitoring of the pregnancy and timely proof of deviation in normal fetal development.

    Pneumothorax-I

    A pneumothorax is a condition where air builds up in the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This condition arises when air enters the space between the parietal and visceral pleura, disrupting the negative pressure essential for lung inflation. This can lead to a partial or complete collapse of the lung.
    Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.

    Pneumothorax-II

    Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.

    Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

    Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
    Description
    Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...
