Parenteral nutrition (PN) is widely used when enteral feeding is contraindicated or not possible in patients who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition, but it is not without complications. We describe the rare complication of PN-related chylothorax that can lead to extensive investigations if not picked up early with clinical suspicion and simple biochemical tests.
肠外营养(PN)在营养不良或有营养不良风险的患者存在肠内喂养禁忌或无法进行肠内喂养时广泛应用,但它并非没有并发症。我们描述了 PN 相关乳糜胸这一罕见并发症,如果没有通过临床怀疑和简单的生化试验早期发现,可能会导致广泛的检查。
