Abstract
|
|
|
A male 17-year-old boy was tranferred from a private hospital for persistent bilateral pleural effusion. The effusion was confirmed as bilateral chylothorax by chest CT and lymphangrography. Persistent accumulation of the chylothorax was
uncontrollable
more 1000cc daily ever after pleuroperitoneal shunt operation and thoracoscopic thoracic duct ligation at Rt. Side. Chemical pleurodesis with OK 432 into pleural cavity through thoracostomy tube was attempted as 1.5 KE-3 KE diluted in 50ml of
normal
saline for 3 consecutive days resulted dramatic reduction of the drainage amount. Chemical pleurodesis with OK 432 appeared to be very helpful for management idiopathic bilateral chylothorax.
