Post-traumatic hemothorax （ 创伤后血胸）

Diagnosis:  Post-traumatic hemothorax; fibrothorax and calcific pleuritis.

-诊断：创伤后血胸、纤维胸、钙化性胸膜炎。

Differential:  Post-traumatic fibrothorax, post-infectious fibrothorax, post-empyema fibrothorax.     

-鉴别诊断：创伤后纤维胸、感染后纤维胸、脓胸后纤维胸。

The three primary causes of a fibrothorax include: hemothorax, tuberculosis, and empyema.  Healing may be associated with the deposition of thick fibrous inelastic tissue along the visceral pleura.  This tissue may be localized, creating a focal region of pleural thickening, or may form a "peel," sometimes over 2.0 cm thick, that may encase the entire lung impeding air exchange and ventilation.  Calcification frequently occurs on the "inner" surface of this dense pleural layer.

-纤维胸三种原发病因包括：血胸、结核、脓胸。愈合过程中会伴随着脏层胸膜非弹性纤维组织增厚、沉积。 -可为局限性，形成局部的胸膜增厚区。 -也可为一层“皮”，厚约2cm，可包裹整个肺，影响气体交换和通气功能。 -钙化比较少见，常于胸膜的内表面。
