充血性心衰性胸腔积液

Bilateral pleural effusions (dotted and solid black arrows) are present in this patient with CHF. Effusions in CHF are most often bilateral but may be asymmetrical, the right side invariably being slightly larger. While a unilateral, left pleural effusion may occur with CHF, a large left effusion should draw suspicion to another possible cause, such as metastatic disease.

CHF患者双侧胸腔积液，这类患者胸腔积液常为双侧，但不对称，右侧稍多。也可以左侧单发。但是若左侧大量积液，则要考虑其他疾病，比如转移性疾病等。
