    Author: van Straaten HL, Gerards LJ, Krediet TG, Brouwers HA.
    Journal: Tijdschr Kindergeneeskd; 1992 Feb; 60(1):22-6. PubMed ID: 1557780.
    Abstract:
    The data of 11 infants with chylothorax in the neonatal period, seven with congenital chylothorax and 4 infants with iatrogenic chylothorax are reported. Chylothorax in the neonatal period may cause birth asphyxia and serious respiratory problems. Among the infants with congenital chylothorax diagnosis can be established before birth by ultrasound technique, followed by optimal resuscitation to prevent asphyxia. In most of the cases, conservative treatment with continuous drainage and total parenteral nutrition is sufficient.
