Chylothorax is an uncommon form of pleural effusion characterized by the presence of chylomicrons, triglycerides and cholesterol in the physical and chemical examination of the pleural fluid. It may have poor prognosis if not properly treated. Currently, conservative measures are the first line of treatment for managing chylothorax. The aim of our study is to show and suggest the use of octreotide in association with talc poudrage as good option to manage post-operative a severe chylothorax.

Abstract
Chylothorax is an uncommon form of pleural effusion characterized by the presence of chylomicrons, triglycerides and cholesterol in the physical and chemical examination of the pleural fluid. It may have poor prognosis if not properly treated. Currently, conservative measures are the first line of treatment for managing chylothorax. The aim of our study is to show and suggest the use of octreotide in association with talc poudrage as good option to manage post-operative a severe chylothorax.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
