Congenital chylothorax in a male infant persisted for 10 weeks despite repeated thoracocenteses and dietary regimens which included total parenteral nutrition for 37 days and a peroral semielementary diet with medium-chain triglyceride content for 19 days. Thoracotomy disclosed a small leak in the thoracic duct. The duct was ligated above and below the leak, as attempted repair was unsuccessful. There was no recurrence of pleural effusion after the operation and no distal lymphoedema was observed.
一名男婴的先天性乳糜胸持续了10周，尽管反复进行胸腔穿刺术并采取了饮食方案，其中包括37天的全胃肠外营养和19天的含中链甘油三酯的口服半要素饮食。开胸手术发现胸导管有一个小渗漏。由于尝试修复未成功，在渗漏上方和下方结扎了导管。术后胸腔积液未复发，也未观察到远端淋巴水肿。
