    Abstract:
    Chylous ascites is rare in the pediatric age group and usually of unknown etiology or due to congenital abnormalities of the lymphatic system. This report describes an infant with posttraumatic chylous ascites, unable to tolerate dietary therapy, in whom total parenteral nutrition allowed successful management. The experience gained in this case clarifies the management of chylous ascites from all causes. Specific recommendations for a treatment protocol are made.
