| The right pleural effusion was tapped, and it was demonstrated to be a transudate by chemistry. |
| The most common views are the anteroposterior, lateral and axial patellar images to assess for fracture, dislocation and effusion. |
| The mastoid was poorly developed, with a clear fluid effusion throughout with no evidence of cholesteatoma or inflammatory disease. |
| Chemical pleurodesis is an effective treatment for malignant pleural effusion and pneumothorax. |
| Presence of cardiomegaly on the chest radiograph may be the only diagnostic clue and echocardiography may reveal pericardial effusion. |
| A moderate anterior pericardial effusion was present, and right ventricular collapse was observed, suggesting pericardial tamponade. |
