Abstract

|
|
|
A 7-year-old intact female Shih-Tzu with chylothorax was presented. Percutaneous popliteal computedtomographic lymphangiography was performed to evaluate the thoracic duct and seek any potential cause of chylothorax. Despite two attempts, visualization of the thoracic duct failed and perianal subcutaneous computed tomographiclymphangiography with injection of iodinated, nonionic water-soluble contrast medium (0.6 ml/kg) was performed. Asingle branch of intact thoracic duct and dilated and tortuous lymphatics were detected. It was diagnosed as idiopathicchylothorax. Perianal subcutaneous lymphangiography is considered a less-invasive, easy and reliable method tovisualize lymphatics in patients with chylothorax.
