Bilateral Urinothorax Identified by Technetium-99m DPTA Renal Imaging

Bilateral Urinothorax Identified by Technetium-99m DPTA Renal Imaging

A case of unilateral urinary tract obstruction with extravasation resulting in bilateral pleural effusions is presented. The fluid within the pleural cavities was established to originate from the kidney using [99mTc]diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid and scintillation camera imaging.
