- Abstract
Key Clinical Message We describe a challenging case of hepatic hydrothorax secondary to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis cirrhosis. Our management involved successfully treating the hydrothorax with a transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt but having to manage the subsequent complication of hepatic encephalopathy. We conclude with a review of the available literature.
