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.
