Since this report, a few more cases of PVI pleurodesis have been reported in the literature.2–5 Adding our own experience of a fatal case of CCT with histologically proven pulmonary lymphangiectasis, we aimed to summarise the current evidence for PVI pleurodesis in case of CCT by means of a literature review.We report the case of a preterm infant (29 weeks’ gestational age, birth weight 1530 g) born by caesarean section (antenatal steroids were given 17 days before birth; Apgar scores at 1/5/10 min were 4/7/7, respectively) with bilateral pleural effusions requiring chest … ER -
