title: [Late empyema after pneumonectomy. Demonstration in x-ray computed tomography].
abstract: The authors describe CT signs of a thoracic empyema, developed several years after a pneumonectomy. The disappearance of the concavity of post-pneumonectomy space in contact with mediastinum, associated to the absence of retraction of the hemithorax are the main signs of the diagnosis.
