Abstract

Urinothorax is a rare cause of pleural effusion, and is typically the result of either obstructive uropathy or injury to the kidney or urinary tract. We report a case of a man who developed a right-sided urinothorax following percutaneous nephrolithotomy, and briefly discuss the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of this uncommon problem. © 2009 Elsevier Ltd.
