Q

What is the pathology demonstrated here?

Select one:

a.
Pulmonary Embolism

b.
Pleural Effusion

c.
Pericardial effusion

d.
Pneumothorax

A

Pericardial effusion

There is an increased volume of fluid in the pericardial cavity around the heart. We know this because the pericardium isn’t always visible on a CT thorax scan - usually it only becomes visible clearly when there is an increased fluid volume. This is indicative of a pericardial effusion.
