(Q34.0) Anomaly of pleura

Anomaly of pleura is a rare congenital disorder in which the lining of the lungs (pleura) does not develop normally. it can cause a variety of symptoms, including chest pain, difficulty breathing, and a dry, persistent cough. in some cases, the pleura may become thickened, leading to a buildup of fluid in the chest (pleural effusion). treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and pain, and surgery to correct the underlying abnormality.

Anomaly of pleura is a condition in which the pleura, the thin membrane that lines the lungs and chest wall, is abnormally thickened or thickened. this can be caused by a number of factors, including inflammation, infection, trauma, or neoplasm. the thickening of the pleura can lead to decreased lung capacity, difficulty breathing, and chest pain. treatment typically involves managing the underlying cause and, in some cases, surgical removal of the abnormal pleural tissue.

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to the pleura.

• Prescribe anti-inflammatory medications
• Prescribe corticosteroids
• Prescribe antibiotics
• Perform thoracentesis to remove excess fluid from the pleural space
• Perform pleurodesis to prevent fluid from accumulating in the pleural space
• Perform video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) to remove pleural tissue
• Perform open thoracotomy to remove pleural tissue
• Perform chest tube insertion to remove air or fluid from the pleural space
• Administer oxygen therapy to increase oxygen levels in the blood

The best way to prevent anomaly of pleura is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can help to identify any potential problems early on, allowing for prompt treatment.
