Abdominal trauma can be one of the causes of chylous ascites in pediatric cases, along with tuberculosis and malignancy. However, a definitive diagnosis is more reasonable to be done by excluding other causes.
Chylous ascites (CA) is a rare type of ascites. Though it has high mortality and morbidity rates, which usually happen due to the rupture of lymph vessels into the peritoneal cavity. Congenital abnormalities, including lymphatic hypoplasia or dysplasia, are the most causes in pediatrics. CA following trauma in children is very rare, and to the best of our knowledge, there are very few reports in this regard. Here, we report a 7-year-old girl who was referred to our center with CA after a car accident.
腹部创伤可能是小儿乳糜性腹水的病因之一，此外还有结核病和恶性肿瘤。然而，通过排除其他病因来做出明确诊断更为合理。
乳糜性腹水（CA）是一种罕见的腹水类型。尽管其死亡率和发病率较高，通常是由于淋巴管破裂进入腹腔所致。先天性异常，包括淋巴管发育不全或发育异常，是儿科最常见的病因。儿童创伤后发生CA非常罕见，据我们所知，这方面的报道很少。在此，我们报告一名7岁女孩，在车祸后因CA被转诊至我们中心。
