Chylothorax in congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Pediatric Surgery International, 2010
Following surgical repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), chylothorax can be present in 7-28% of the cases. It has been associated with prenatal diagnosis, the use of ECMO and prosthetic patches during reparatory surgery. The objective is to present a neonatal unit experience in handling this complication and the search for predictive factors

Octreotide in the treatment of congenital chylothorax

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, 2004
Abstract:  Congenital chylothorax is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the pleural space. Cases unresponsive to conservative management usually require surgery. Octreotide has been used successfully to treat post‐traumatic chylothoraces in the paediatric and adult population.

Congenital chylothorax in three siblings

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2005
Congenital chylothorax is an uncommon condition, resulting from lymphatic accumulation in the fetal thorax; affected siblings are extremely rare. We report a woman who delivered 3 children with congenital chylothorax; each case was managed differently, including the use of ex utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) with the third pregnancy.

Congenital chylothorax in a trisomy 21 newborn

Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics, 1992
We here report a case of trisomy 21 with congenital chylothorax. The patient was a male newborn who had been diagnosed as having trisomy 21 with congenital chylothorax. This is the fifth case of the both conditions in English literature. Congenital chylothorax is very rare in a trisomy 21 patient.

Congenital Chylothorax: A Case Study

Neonatal Network, 2006
PLEURAL EFFUSIONS OCCUR WHEN a large amount of free fluid accumulates in the pleural space.1A chylothorax is caused by chyle-containing lymphatic fluid draining into the pleural cavity.2This is the most common type of pleural effusion observed during the neonatal period and is two times more likely to occur in males than in females.

Congenital chylothorax

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2017
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 ...

Propranolol Therapy for Congenital Chylothorax

Pediatrics, 2023
Congenital chylothorax is a rare and often severe anomaly without well-established medical therapies. Previously, propranolol use in patients with lymphatic malformations and secondary chylothorax was associated with improvement in clinical signs. We hypothesized that propranolol treatment would be beneficial for severe congenital chylothorax.

Congenital chylothorax in siblings

Acta Paediatrica, 1998
We describe two cases of congenital chylothorax in siblings with important differences from previously described familial cases. Our findings support the likelihood of an autosomal recessive inheritance in some cases of this condition, rather than X‐linked recessive inheritance, which has also been suggested.

Congenital Pulmonary Lymphangiectasia with Chylothorax

Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals, 2002
A 5-year-old boy with dyspnea was diagnosed through thoracentesis as having chylothorax. After conservative management failed, open thoracotomy was performed. Lung biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia. Chylothorax was successfully controlled by fibrin glue pleurodesis in this patient.
