| Abstract |
|
Congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasis is a rare abnormality usually becoming manifest at birth
and almost invariably fatal in neonatal period or early infancy. Chylothorax is an infrequent
manifestation of this disease. We report a patient with pulmonary lymphangiectasis, 3 year old male,
who had been suffered from persistent respiratory distress since 7 days after birth, in whom the
diagnosis was suggested by the appearance of chylothorax and confirmed by open lung biopsy. He
died of pulmonary failure 4 months after discharge.
