| Abstrakt: |
We report the case of a male child in whom a chest tube developed into an iatrogenic chylothorax. Two similar cases have been reported in the literature, only one of them being similar to the present case. In both patients the anatomic topography of the thoracic duct coincided with the tube-induced injuries. We believe that such accidents are caused by pathological weakness of the pleura when in contact with the rigidity and sharp-edged points of the chest tubes. |
