Prolonged Pleural Effusion following Liver Biopsy in a 10-Year-Old Girl
Pleural effusions in patients with liver disease are common. Bilious pleural effusion can occur following percutaneous biopsy if the pleura is traversed. We reported the case of a 10-year-old girl who had a liver biopsy. After this procedure, the girl had a pleural effusion during the 20-day period we were treated with the chest tube. After this period, the chest tube was removed and the patient continued conservative gastroenterological treatment for liver cirrhosis.
