AB  - Chylothorax  results  from  the  leakage  of  chyle  from  the  thoracic  duct  or  one  of  its  lymphatic  branches  into  the  pleural  space.  Common  causes  include  neoplasm  and  iatrogenic  injury.  Life-threatening  metabolic  derangements  may  occur  if  chylothorax  is  not  recognized  and  treated  promptly.  Numerous  maneuvers  can  be  undertaken  as  part  of  a  conservative  approach  to  treating  chylothorax,  but  surgical  intervention  is  usually  the  most  effective  method  of  achieving  definitive  results.
