title: Bilateral pleural effusion in the first trimester: a predictor of chromosomal abnormality and embryonic death?
abstract: We describe two cases of Turner's syndrome with transient bilateral pleural effusion demonstrated by transvaginal ultrasonography in the first trimester. Our cases suggest the necessity for close follow-up examination and possibly genetic counseling when pleural effusion is encountered during the first trimester.
