Conditions Involving the Pleural Cavity. The presence of an excess of fluid, or of air or gas in the pleural cavity can interfere with its function in respiration. Some conditions affecting the pleural space may include: Pleural effusion - A pleural effusion refers to a build-up of fluid in the pleural cavity.

They can also show if pneumonia is the cause of the pleurisy. CT scans and ultrasound scans may also be used to better visualize the pleural space.If there is a large amount of fluid present, your doctor may draw a sample of pleural fluid for analysis. Your doctor will determine the exact location of the fluid.n the case of pleural effusion, your doctor will direct treatment towards the underlying cause of the fluid. Sometimes, if the pleural fluid is infected or the amount is excessive, the doctor may drain it through a tube inserted in your chest, a procedure that requires hospitalization.
