title: [Isotopic method in the demonstration of diaphragmatic defects in a case of pleural effusion associated with cirrhosis: apropos of a case].
abstract: A 62-year-old woman presented with massive right-sided hydrothorax associated with cirrhosis of the liver. Chest scintigraphy after intraperitoneal injection of labelled tracer showed movement of the tracer from the peritoneal to the pleural cavity. Medical therapy and thoracocentesis were successful in this case.
