Chylous ascites: a manifestation of blunt abdominal trauma in an infant

A L Beal et al. J Pediatr Surg. 1998 Apr.

Abstract

This report presents an infant in whom a unique case of chylous ascites developed after blunt abdominal trauma. Unfortunately, this case was complicated by Pseudomonas peritonitis, likely from a distant source. Our patient was treated medically and had a good overall outcome.
