The occurrence of fat-fluid levels in ascites, although rare, is pathognomic of chylous ascites. The ultrasound and CT scan findings of a fat-fluid level in the ascitic fluid of a patient with abdominal tuberculosis are described here. Recognition of this important sign, in conjunction with other ancillary findings of abdominal tuberculosis, assist in establishing the correct diagnosis. Anti-tuberculous chemotherapy suffices in treating the condition, thus obviating the need for surgical intervention.
腹水出现脂肪-液平面，虽较为罕见，但为乳糜性腹水的特征性表现。本文描述了一名腹部结核患者腹水中脂肪-液平面的超声及CT扫描结果。认识到这一重要征象，并结合腹部结核的其他辅助检查结果，有助于做出正确诊断。抗结核化疗足以治疗该病，从而无需手术干预。
