A member asked:

What does large fluid collection with an air fluid level mean ??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Where?: Where is this seen? Is this on plain x-ray or a CT scan? Need much more detailed clinical information. Could mean anything from air & fluid in a urinary bladder, air & fluid in the stomach, or something concerning like an abscess. Review with the doctor who ordered the study please.

Dr Cattano and another doctor agreed
