Persistent pleural effusion and post-traumatic subarachnoidal-pleural fistula
Eur J Cardiothorac Surg.
1991.
Abstract
Post-traumatic subarachnoidal-pleural fistulae are rare. We have found 22 cases in the literature. A patient who was successfully treated by thoracotomy 1 1/2 years after blunt thoracic trauma is presented. Myelography is the diagnostic test of choice and surgical closure is necessary in most cases.
