Abstract

Chylothorax is the accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the pleural space. Chylothorax can occur in various clinical settings and arise from diverse causes. The optimal management of the patients with chylothorax is still uncertain. Treatment of chylothothorax can be divided into conservative therapy, operative therapy and radiation therapy. Recent reports have suggested that octreotide, by value of its direct action on lymphatic flow, has been useful in resolution of neoplastic chylothorax in the adult population. We herein report prompt cessation of lymphorrhea in an adult patient with chylothorax using octreotide, a long-acting somatostatin analog.

Özet

Şilotoraks lenfoid sıvının plevral boşlukta toplanmasıdır. Şilotoraks çok çeşitli nedenlere bağlı olarak değişik klinik tablolarda ortaya çıkabilir. Şilotorakslı hastaların ideal tedavisi tam olarak belirgin değildir. Şilotoraks tedavisi konservatif tedavi, cerrahi tedavi ve radyoterapi olarak ayrılabilir. Son yayınlar oktreotidin, lenfatik akım üzerine olan direkt etkisi yoluyla erişkinlerde malign şilotoraksın rezolüsyonuna yardımcı olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Biz bu yazıda şilotorakslı erişkin bir hastada uzun etkili bir somatostatin analoğu olan oktreotid ile lenforenin hızla tedavi edilmesini sunuyoruz.
