    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Pulmonology
    • Thoracic Surgery

    Background:

    • Exudative pleural effusion can be a complication of various gastrointestinal diseases.
    • Understanding the link between abdominal conditions and pleural effusions is crucial for diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss exudative pleural effusions associated with gastrointestinal pathologies.
    • To provide a comprehensive overview of effusions resulting from specific abdominal conditions.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and case discussion.
    • Analysis of clinical presentations and etiological factors.

    Main Results:

    • Esophageal perforation, pancreatic disease, subphrenic abscess, intrahepatic abscess, splenic abscess, abdominal operations, and diaphragmatic hernia are identified as causes of exudative pleural effusion.
