Chylothorax presenting as non-immune hydrops is even rarer. We report a case of congenital bilateral chylothorax presenting as non immune hydrops and managed successfully with chemical pleurodesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Neonatal presentation is often respiratory distress secondary to lung compression or pulmonary hypoplasia. [scholars.duke.edu]

• Skin Lesion

  Local cytotoxic mucosal and skin lesions have been described.19 The only adverse effect that we considered to be possibly related to the treatment was generalised oedema, which occurred 24 hours after povidone-iodine instillation in case 3. [fn.bmj.com]

• Anuria

  Impaired renal function causes oliguria or anuria, and subsequently hydrops.28 In CC, NIHF may develop from a combination of increased capillary filtration rate (caused by increased capillary hydrostatic pressure) and reduced lymphatic clearance that [dovepress.com]

Conversely, increasing levels indicate a worsening condition requiring aggressive workup or treatment. LD iso enzyme analysis may be helpful in diagnosing problematic exudates but is not routinely recommended (Lossos, 1997). [passeidireto.com]

Diagnostic workup in a neonate presenting with chylothorax would be maternal, fetal, and neonatal. The aim is to exclude other causes of hydrothoraces. [ispub.com]

As seen in Figure 2, our progress in the fetal intervention did bring about improved treatment results. However, in this cohort overall prenatal treatment did not affect patient survival. [frontiersin.org]

[…] is widely accepted that conservative treatment should be the first option. [fn.bmj.com]

Interventional treatment Patients who fail to respond to conservative treatment have the option of surgical or interventional treatment. Surgical treatment reduces mortality from 50% to 10%. [cureus.com]

The average daily drain output within 3 days post-treatment (median 62 mL, range 10-651 mL) was significantly lower than that before treatment (median 133 mL, range 70-620 mL) (P = .002). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

CONCLUSION: The recovery from chylothorax and future prognosis were dependent on the underlying etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Appropriate and effective treatment of patients with chylothorax may contribute to the prognosis and neonatal survival. [gorm.com.tr]

CONCLUSION: The recovery from chylothorax and future prognosis were dependent on the underlying etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Currently, the etiology of chylothorax is poorly understood and treatment options are limited. [onlinejacc.org]
