Hydrothorax has long been recognised as a complication of cirrhosis, but it is seen in only a few patients, mostly on the right side. We report an unusual case of massive left-sided hydrothorax complicating cirrhosis with ascites, where pleuro-peritoneal communication was demonstrated on the left side by radionuclide scanning.
