Abstract

Chylothorax cases are associated with several etiologies. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma and intrathoracicsurgical trauma are the most frequent reasons, but approximately 15% of thecases are idiopathic. Idiopathic chylothorax is thought to be related to minor trauma, anddamage above the fifth thoracic vertebra is known to lead to left-sided effusion. In this report,we describe a left-sided chylothorax with an etiology that was finally identified by anin-depth interrogation of the patient’s past medical history. Several days previously, while hewas weight training with his left arm, he experienced serious pain in his scalenus anteriormuscle area. We thought that overstretching of the subclavious and anterior scalenus musclemight have led to the rupture of the left lymphatic duct. Traumatic chylothorax after weightlifting is a rare entity. Awareness and a high degree of suspicion are important in cases ofunusual pleural effusion.

Özet

Şilotoraks çeşitli nedenlerle oluşabilir. Non-Hodgkin lenfoma ve intratorasik cerrahi travma en sık nedenlerdir, olguların yaklaşık %15’i idiyopatiktir. İdiyopatik şilotoraksın minimal travma ile ilişkili olduğu düşünülmektedir ve beşinci torasik vertebra seviyesinin üstündeki hasarlarda sol hemitoraksta efüzyona yol açtığı bilinmektedir. Olgumuzda, hastanın geçmiş tıbbi öyküsünün derinlemesine sorgulanmasıyla tanımlanan bir etiyolojiye sahip bir sol tarafta şilotoraks tespit ettik. Hastanın öyküsünde; birkaç gün önce, sol koluyla ağırlık çalışırken, anteriyor skalen kas bölgesinde ciddi bir ağrı yaşadığını öğrendik. Subklavius ve anteriyor skalen kasının aşırı gerilmesinin sol lenfatik kanalın rüptürüne yol açabileceğini düşündük. Ağırlık kaldırma sonrası travmatik şilotoraks nadir görülen bir durumdur. Sıradışı plevral efüzyon olgularında tanı için farkındalık ve şüphe önemlidir.
