Newborn in the ICU of the Children's City Clinical Hospital after surgery of left-sided diaphragmatic hernia. An ultrasound of the pleural spaces was prescribed for fluid.
On ultrasound, the entire left pleural cavity is filled with fluid, the lung is not visible (presumably hypoplastic), a tubular structure with a reverberation artifact (presumably drainage) is visualized in the middle third, a clear border with the abdominal cavity (AC) is not visualized, a cellular conglomerate is visualized at the border with the AC ( presumably fibrin deposits) and 2 tubular structures included in the defect (of visualization), from front to back: presumably the esophagus and aorta.
