Bilateral Chylothorax after Modified Radical Neck Lymph Node Dissection / 대한내분비외과학회지

ABSTRACT

Bilateral chylothorax as a complication of modified radical neck dissection is extremely rare, but it is potentially serious and sometimes fatal. Early diagnosis and proper management is very important. We report here on a case of bilateral chylothorax following left modified radical neck dissection that was successfully treated with conservative management.
