The accurate diagnosis of pleural effusion remains a challenging clinical problem. Medical thoracoscopy has an established role in achieving the aetiology of pleural effusion. Pleural biopsies provide best results, but if cytological results can be shown to give concordant results, therapy can be instituted early.
