Chylothorax is defined as an accumulation of chyle in the pleural space caused by disruption of the thoracic duct or one of its major divisions. Chyle has a high content of triglycerides. The odorless fluid is turbid and milky due to the presence of fat containing particles, the chylomicrons.

Management of refractory chylothorax in the neonatal intensive care unit: A 22-year experience.
Pediatrics International, 2021BACKGROUND We aimed to assess the therapeutic strategy of patients with chylothorax in a neonatal intensive care unit. METHODS Twenty-eight infants with chylothorax were included in this study. We retrospectively reviewed their clinical characteristics

Chylous leakage from the thoracic duct into the pleural space may occur after any type of thoracic surgery; however, there are few reports of this condition after coronary artery bypass grafting. A case of chylothorax after combined coronary bypass and mitral valve replacement is reported to illustrate a discussion of its pathologic basis, diagnosis ...

Chylothorax complicating pulmonary resections is exceptional and management of this complication remains controversial. We report a case of chylothorax after a right pneumonectomy and radical subcarinal nodal dissection. Successful nonoperative management consisted of controlled tube drainage, fasting, and total parenteral nutritional support for a ...

Chylothorax is an unusual but serious complication of thoracic surgical procedures, and may carry considerable morbidity if not addressed in a timely fashion. Thoracic surgeons should be able to promptly diagnose this complication, and understand the implications of prolonged chyle loss to the patient. Conservative measures are often successful; direct

The use of high dose octreotide in management of neonatal chylothorax: Review
Journal of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, 2021BACKGROUND: Being a rare condition, the incidence of chylothorax among neonates is low, but the mortality rate is high. In a dire effort to reduce the risk of death, octreotide treatment is used to effectively treat acquired and congenital chylothorax ...

Over a period of 22 years, chylothorax developed in 9 of 1,800 patients who underwent pneumonectomy. Two groups were identified. In group I (n = 5), accelerated opacification of the pneumonectomy space was noted, but the mediastinum remained shifted to the pneumonectomy site. No hemodynamic problems developed and their course was no different from that

Congenital chylothorax (CC) results from multiple lymphatic vessel anomalies or thoracic cavity defects and may accompany other congenital anomalies. Fetal chylothorax may increase the risk of death and complications from pleural space lymphatic fluid accumulation, which compromises lung development, pulmonary, and cardiovascular function and from ...

Nontraumatic chylothorax is an uncommon condition of thoracic or abdominal origin caused by multiple disorders, of which malignancy is by far the most frequent one. Because gross appearance of pleural fluid is frequently misleading, pleural fluid and serum lipid analysis is required for its diagnosis.
