  • Title: [Bilateral chylothorax].
    Author: Romand P, Blanc-Jouvan F, Brambilla C.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 1989; 6(4):385-7. PubMed ID: 2799049.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of spontaneous bilateral chylothorax appearing in a woman suffering from kyphoscoliosis. A cure was obtained after one pleural tap and three weeks of rest with a special alimentary diet. We discussed as a possible cause the tearing of the thoracic duct secondary to movements resulting from the hyperextension of the vertebral column.
