Split pleura sign is a Contrast enhanced CT finding in which there is enhancement of the thickened inner visceral pleura and outer parietal pleura separated by pleural fluid
It is seen with Empyema in a setting of bacterial pneumonia
This is due to fibrin deposition in the visceral and parietal pleura as empyema progresses
