Abstract:

Effusion developing due to preeclampsia in the pleural effusion etiology is quite rare, and in most studies, the term of preeclampsia is not even mentioned as to differential diagnosis. In the same way, pleural effusion is also rarely encountered in cases of preeclampsia in obstetry clinics. Transudative pleural pericardial effusion accompanied by ascites in an asymptomatic patient with mild preeclampsia that we diagnosed accidentally suggested that such cases could be more common than expected.

Keywords:
