What is pleural effusion?

Pleural effusion is the build-up of fluid between the visceral pleura (the membrane lining the lung) and the parietal pleura (the membrane lining the thoracic wall). The extra fluid surrounding the lung compresses it and may cause shortness of breath, chest pain, and dry cough.
