Spontaneous healing of chyle leakage after lymphangiography

T Yamagami et al. Br J Radiol. 2005 Sep.

Abstract

We report a 34-year-old man with the complication of chylous ascites after retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy that was refractory to various conservative therapies. Because surgical treatment for chylous ascites was considered, lymphangiography was performed to identify the area of leakage of chyle, after which the chylous ascites spontaneously healed.
