    Author: Cöplü L, Emrí S, Selçuk ZT, Kalyoncu F, Balkanci F, Sahín AA, Bariş YI.
    Journal: Thorax; 1992 Jan; 47(1):64-5. PubMed ID: 1539151.
    Abstract:
    Chylothorax and chylopericardium secondary to thrombosis of the superior vena cava and the innominate and subclavian veins were diagnosed in a patient with Behçet's syndrome. Immunosuppressive treatment, diet, and underwater seal drainage led to a diminished volume of pleural fluid and pericardial fluid and to a diminished concentration of triglyceride in them; pleurodesis with tetracycline was then performed.
