Urinothorax: a rare finding after urinary intervention.

INTRODUCTION: We report a case in our center of unilateral urinothorax that occurred post percutaneous nephrolithotomy as a rare cause of pleural effusion and acute dyspnea.

METHODS: Report of a case.

RESULTS: Initial chest CT showed massive left sided pleural effusion from which biochemical investigations revealed exudative effusion and urinothorax. The effusion was drained by central venous pressure catheter and urologic problem was resolved.

CONCLUSIONS: urinothorax should be suspected as a cause of pleural effusion in obstructive uropathy and post renal and ureteric maneuvers.
