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

Chylothorax is a rare primary or secondary condition the optimum management of which remains uncertain.Twenty cases of chylothorax, including ten of primary chylothorax and ten secondary to either malignancy, subclavian vein thrombosis or lymphangioma treated between 1956 and 1986 have been reviewed.Open pleurectomy was the most successful treatment in

Chylothorax in Lymphangioleiomyomatosis*
Chest, 2003Pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare, serious disorder characterized by proliferation of abnormal smooth-muscle cells and affects almost exclusively women of childbearing age. Optimal management of chylothorax, a well-recognized complication of LAM, in these patients has not been defined.

Chylothorax and Pseudochylothorax
Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1985Both chylothorax and pseudochylothorax are characterized by milky or turbid pleural effusions. The importance of distinguishing these two conditions cannot be overemphasized because the prognosis and management are different.

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.

Thoracic duct injury resulting in chylothorax is a well-known and documented complication of thoracic surgery. However, chylothorax under tension is a rarely reported complication that results in respiratory and hemodynamic collapse. Early recognition and treatment of this entity are essential for optimal patient outcome. Herein we present two cases of

Hemothorax and chylothorax remain perplexing medical problems. The primary cause of hemothorax is trauma, whereas the primary cause of chylothorax is cancer. Most patients with hemothorax can be treated with chest tube drainage only. Early thoracotomy with thoracic duct ligation is recommended for patients with chylothorax when conservative treatment ...

To the Editor .—The article by Kurtz and Hsu in theArchives(115:73-74, 1980) regarding resolution of chylothorax after positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) ventilation is enlightening and a logical approach to the clinical problem. Several years ago, Bittar and I 1 undertook to determine the mechanism by which patients receiving PEEP ventilation ...
