Bilateral chylothorax following left radical neck dissection (Case report)

  • A. Pace-Balzan (a1) and B. Moriarty (a2)
Summary

Bilateral chylothorax is a rare complication of radical neck dissection and was first described in 1907. Stuart (1907) reviewed a number of patients with injuries to the thoracic duct in the neck and reported on three patients with bilateral chylothotax, all of whom died. The condition was not reported again until 1951 when the first of the five single case reported published to date appeared. The rarity with with which this complication is reported makes it difficult for clinicians to be familiar with it. A further case is reported and the relevant literture, and certain aspects of the aetiology and management are discussed.
