Two cases of lymphangiectasia of the small intestine in elderly women are presented. The condition manifested itself in one case by a sudden perforation of the jejunum; in the other case by ileus of the terminal ileum. In both cases the disease process pursued a relentless course that ultimately led to the death of the patients. Elective surgery in patients with lymphangiectasia has been performed before. Acute surgery of lymphangiectasia of the small intestine with complaints of acute abdomen, obstruction or perforation as presenting signs of the disease has not been described previously.
本文报告了两例老年女性小肠淋巴管扩张症病例。其中一例表现为空肠突然穿孔；另一例表现为回肠末端肠梗阻。两例患者的病情均呈进行性发展，最终导致死亡。此前曾对淋巴管扩张症患者进行过择期手术。而以急腹症、梗阻或穿孔作为疾病表现体征的小肠淋巴管扩张症急诊手术，此前尚未见报道。
