    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2013 Aug; 50(8):796-8. PubMed ID: 24036646.
    Abstract:
    Spontaneous chylothorax, without a predisposing factor is an uncommon cause of pleural effusion beyond the neonatal period. We present a case of left sided spontaneous chylothorax in a 20-month-old boy. We report successful management of this difficult problem with thoracoscopic ligation of thoracic duct after a failed trial with conservative management.
