Bilateral chylothorax following radical neck dissection is an uncommon complication of head and neck surgery. Only 9 more cases have been reported in the English literature until now. Early recognition is not difficult if it is bear in mind when evaluating dyspnoeic patients with bilateral pleural effusions after neck dissection. In this paper the authors report their experiences with a case and comment on the treatment employed. The authors believe that due to its potential severity, it must be considered when ever head and neck surgery is performed.
根治性颈清扫术后双侧乳糜胸是头颈外科手术中一种罕见的并发症。到目前为止，英文文献中仅另有9例报道。如果在评估颈清扫术后出现双侧胸腔积液的呼吸困难患者时考虑到这一点，早期识别并不困难。本文作者报告了他们对一例病例的经验，并对所采用的治疗方法进行了评论。作者认为，由于其潜在的严重性，在进行任何头颈外科手术时都必须予以考虑。
