ABSTRACT
We observed one patient with large pleural effusion causing severe dyspnea, tachycardia, and severe right atrial collapse, which findings were completely resolved after thoracentesis. Our report shows that massive pleural effusion also can make severe right atrial collapse and symptom like cardiac tamponade, and thoracentesis can improve this condition.
