Abstract:
As a result of advanced surgical techniques, arthroscopy for shoulder surgery is becoming more common.Although serious complications from the absorption of fluid during shoulder arthroscopy are rare, significant absorption of irrigation fluid does occur during the procedure.This report describes a case of severe neck edema and pleural effusion following shoulder arthroscopy in a patient who received a large amount of arthroscopy fluid for irrigation.
