Pericardial effusion in exudative pericarditis
Chest x-ray (AP view)
A bilaterally enlarged cardiac silhouette (globular "water bottle-shaped") with complete loss of normal cardiac contour is visible (dashed line: normal cardiac silhouette; hatched overlay: enlarged silhouette). In addition, two crescent-shaped opacities (L > R) can be seen at both costophrenic angles (light green shaded area).
These findings indicate pericardial effusion in addition to pleural effusion.
