Abstract
Hydrothorax was identified in a 14-year-old Siamese cat with a pre-exi stent perinephric pseudocyst. The pleural fluid was classified as a lo w-protein transudate. Intrapseudocystic scintigraphy confirmed a direc t communication between the pseudocyst and the pleural space, The hydr othorax resolved following pseudocystectomy and unilateral nephrectomy , demonstrating that the pseudocyst caused the hydrothorax.
