RÉSUMÉ
Objectif. Évaluer les demandes d’échographie thoracique au sein de l’Hôpital Jamot de Yaoundé. Matériels et méthodes Il s’agit d’une étude transversale descriptive quantitative, réalisée dans le service de radiologie et d’imagerie médicale menée de janvier 2015 à décembre 2018. Nous avons procédé à un échantillonnage consécutif non exhaustif des comptes rendus d’échographie thoracique et/ou pleurale pendant 03 ans. Résultats. Nous avons collecté les comptes rendus de 195 patients dont 123 hommes (63%). L’âge médian était de 39 ans. Le marquage était l’indication la plus retrouvée (90.3%). Les résultats étaient pathologiques dans 77,4% des cas (IC =95%). Les lésions étaient à droite dans 116 cas (59,6%). Les principales lésions étaient l’épanchement pleural cloisonné (31,1%) et l’épanchement pleural libre (30.5%). Conclusion. Au terme de cette étude nous pouvons conclure que l’échographie thoracique à l’Hôpital Jamot de Yaoundé se fait essentiellement pour le marquage de site de ponction d’épanchement pleural.
