Describimos las complicaciones de la toracocentesis y la biopsia pleural con aguja, concluyendo en la bondad y utilidad de ambas técnicas. Se describen el neumotórax, hemotórax, contaminación bacteriana y alteraciones funcionales como complicaciones principales, siendo otras de menor entidad las de menor frecuencia.
