Clinical introductionA 23-year-old woman followed at another medical centre for congenital heart disease (CHD) presented to our emergency clinic with 3 weeks of bilateral pleuritic chest pain. She returned from holiday in Greece 6 weeks earlier where a tattoo and nasal piercing had been performed. There was no history of night sweats or fever.Her temperature was 37.5°C, heart rate 120 beats/min, oxygen saturations 94% on room air and blood pressure 110/74. Her chest was clear and there was systolic murmur on auscultation. The chest radiograph showed peripheral bilateral lower zone atelectasis. The ECG demonstrated sinus tachycardia. The haemoglobin was 11.2 g/dL, white cell count 10.18×109/L, C-reactive protein 67 mg/L (normal <5 mg/L) and D dimer=430 ng/mL (normal <230 ng/mL).A pulmonary embolus was suspected and a CT pulmonary angiogram was performed (figure 1).QuestionBased on the CT findings, what is the most likely underlying congenital heart lesion in this patient?Bicuspid aortic valveCoarctation of the aortaFontan circulationParachute mitral valveVentricular septal defectFigure 1CT pulmonary angiogram (coronal views).

Pleural Involvement

The presence of fluid in the pleural space can be seen in a variety of disorders. Presenting symptoms include dyspnea, pleuritic chest pain, and ipsilateral shoulder pain if pleural involvement occurs at the central portion of the diaphragm. Physical examination findings include chest asymmetry, diminished breath sounds, dullness to percussion, and decreased tactile fremitus. In an upright patient, the radiographic appearance of pleural fluid includes blunting of the costophrenic angle, straightening or a more lateral peak of the hemidiaphragm contour, simulation of an elevated hemidiaphragm, or a distance of greater than 2 cm between the gastric air bubble and the lung.

The study reports on 100 children and adolescents evaluated in a pediatric cardiology department. The results state that 13% of the population met the criteria for Major Depressive Disorder based on DSM III. There were four patients who were referred because of chest pain. All of them were found to be free from cardiovascular disorders, but all were found to be in the depressed group. The authors emphasize the importance of chest pain in differential diagnosis of childhood depression.

Haemorrhage in patients with haemophilia is common after minor trauma but may occur spontaneously. Despite the diversity of bleeding sites, spontaneous haemothorax, on a non-traumatic basis, is an exceedingly rare event and only a few cases had been reported. We present a case of a 43-year-old man with a history of haemophilia A who had pleuritic chest pain for 1 day without significant history of trauma. Diagnostic thoracentesis showed bloody pleural fluid in which neither abnormal cell nor organism was found. He was treated by cryoprecipitate replacement and therapeutic thoracentesis for releasing haemothorax. After discharge, the patient returned for follow-up with complete radiological resolution. Regarding the consequences of retained haemothorax from conservative approach and the procedure-related bleeding of given therapeutic intervention in haemothorax making its management in patients with haemophilia to be more challenging. Our case illustrates a conservative treatment of spontaneous haemothorax in patient with haemophilia resulting in a good clinical outcome.
