👉 Pleuropedi, also known as pleural plaques, are a type of lung disease that occurs when fluid-filled spaces in the lungs become inflamed and obstructive. These plaques can be found anywhere in the lung, including the pleura (the thin, white membrane covering the lungs) and the pericardium (the muscular lining around the heart). Pleuropedi can cause pain or discomfort when breathing deeply, especially if there are fluid-filled spaces blocking the airway.
