Pleural Effusion is an abnormal fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, classified as a pleural disease. Under normal circumstances, the pleural cavity contains only a tiny amount of fluid (10-20 mL) to facilitate smooth pleural movement. When the fluid volume increases, it can compress lung tissue, leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and other respiratory issues. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential.
