摘要
Although chylothorax is an uncommon disorder,it is the most common cause of pleural effusion in the newborn infant.The majority of spontaneously occurring cases lack any known cause,while others occur secondary to thoracic and cardiovascular surgery and some are associated with lymphangiomatosis[1].It occurs twice as often in males,and the incidence has been reported as 1/10,000-15,000[2].In this report,a male infant with congenital chylothorax who had ultrasonographically established bilateral pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion in the prenatal period,is presented.
