BILATERAL TRAUMATIC CHYLOTHORAX FOLLOWING BLUNT THORACIC TRAUMA: A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Chylothorax is a rare form of pleural effusion that can be associated with traumatic and nontraumatic causes. Mostly, it is attributed to injury or overstretching of major thoracic duct by fractures or other injury of neighboring thoracic spine. The management of chylotorax ranges from conservative treatment to surgical intervention. Optimal management and outcome for patients with chylotorax remain unclear. We present a seventy five year old man who presented with respiratory difficulty due to multipl rib fractures and bilateral chylothorax, which developed after a blunt chest trauma. The patient was successfully treated through a conservative approach with total parenteral nutrition, nothing by mouth, and bilateral chest tube drainage. The nature of pleural effusion developed following a blunt thoracic trauma is important in the management of trauma patients.
