| Abstract: | We report a case of hydrothorax as a complication of laparoscopicmyomectomy in an otherwise healthy woman. The most likely causeof the patients hydrothorax was irrigation fluid movingfrom the peritoneal cavity into the pleural space via defectsin the diaphragm. Anaesthestists and surgeons should considerhydrothorax as a potential complication in any patient undergoinglaparoscopy. Br J Anaesth 2001; 87: 5079 |
