Abstract
Chylous ascites is an extremely rare complication of abdominal aortic surgery. We report on a case of chyloperitoneum following resection of aortic aneurysm. The diagnosis of lymphatic tear was confirmed by paracentesis which revealed milky fluid characterized by very high content of triglicerydes. Conservative management with a low-fat diet and diuretics resulted in a successful outcome.
