Injury to the thoracic duct resulting in chylothorax is an uncommon but well-documented complication of esophagectomy. In two cases, which were associated with signs of life-threatening upper airway obstruction, an initial diagnosis of asthma was made. It appears that this complication of esophagectomy has not been reported previously.
胸导管损伤导致乳糜胸是食管切除术中一种罕见但有充分文献记载的并发症。在两例伴有危及生命的上呼吸道梗阻体征的病例中，最初诊断为哮喘。看来这种食管切除术的并发症以前尚未见报道。
