Paediatric chylothoraces are rare, particularly outside the operative setting. Cases of spontaneous chylothorax are often demanding diagnostically and frequently associated with patient morbidity. We present a challenging case of paediatric chylothorax associated with inflammatory oesophageal perforation likely related to foreign body ingestion.
小儿乳糜胸较为罕见,尤其是在非手术情况下。自发性乳糜胸病例在诊断上往往颇具挑战性,且常与患者的发病率相关。我们报告了一例具有挑战性的小儿乳糜胸病例,该病例与可能因异物摄入导致的炎性食管穿孔有关。
