Abstract

Chylothorax is very rare clinical entity which develops by collection of lymphatic fluid in the pleural space and it may cause metabolic and immunologic disorders. The causes of chylothorax are thoracic trauma, inflammatory diseases and malign lymphatic obstruction. Traumatic chylothorax is a rare clinical entity but it can be diagnosed easily. It should be treated as soon as the diagnoses is certain. Surgical treatment could be postponed for 10 -14 days in order to see the diminution of drainage tube after the conservative therapy. On the other hand, delay in surgical treatment may cause serious complications. We discussed a case of chylothorax caused by blunt trauma after deceleration injury.

Özet

Şilotoraks plevral hoşlukta lenfatik sıvının birikmesiyle gelişen, ciddi metabolik ve immünolojik bozukluklara yol uçabilen nadir görülen klinik bir tablodur. Şilotoraks, toraks travması veya enflamatuvar ve malign lenfatik obstrüksiyon sonucu ortaya çıkar. Travmatik şilotoraks toraks travmaları arasında oklukça nadir gözlenen, ancak kolayca tanı konabilen klinik bir tablodur. Tanı konduğu andan itibaren tedaviye başlanılmalı ve 10-14 günlük konservatif tedaviye rağmen drenajın azalmadığı durumlarda cerrahi tedavi planlanmalıdır. Cerrahi tedavide gecikme ciddi komplikasyonlara yol açabilir. Bu makalede yüksekten düşme nedeniyle multipl vücut travması sonucu gelişen bir şilotoraks olgusu literatür bilgileri ışığında tartışılmaktadır.
