Googling "poumons à la paroi" seemed to suggest this. But I could be wrong! cul-de-sac = costophrenic angle http://ercweb.bcm.tmc.edu/rad_elect/Chest/ch-305/discussion.... The PA film is fairly normal, except that the transition between the right pleural space and the right hemidiaphragm is unusually sharp. This finding is known as the loss of the 'gray sign' and is caused by a collection of free fluid in the right subpulmonic space. Notice how the costophrenic angles of the frontal film appear relatively normal. Now look at these angles on the lateral films. With normal lungs, a free pleural effusion will accumulate between the lung and hemidiaphragm but soon spills out into the costophrenic angles. The costophrenic sulcus posteriorly is much deeper than laterally. The fluid will blunt the posterior angle on the lateral view sooner than blunting the lateral angles on the frontal view. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2005-02-23 08:09:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On second thoughts, \"poumons à la paroi\" may just mean the lungs are fully inflated. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2005-02-23 08:11:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another ref. for \"cul-de-sac\": CHUPS - Radiographie du thorax : les syndromes radiologiques ... ...
