ABSTRACT

Urinothorax is an unusual cause of pleural effusion. To describe a case with urinothorax secondary to urinary system trauma. 41-year-old male readmitted to our hospital 16 days after a right percutaneous nephrolithotomy with fever, shortness of breath, chest pain and multiloculated pleural effusion confirmed by CT scan, resolved with surgical treatment. Readmitted twenty-one days later with recurrent empyema and diagnosis of reno-pleural fistula, treated with new thoracotomy and double J and urinary catheter placement. The suspected diagnosis and the multidisciplinary approach allowed to solve this rare complication.
