ABSTRACT
A 66-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of a chronic traumatic aneurysm of the thoracic aorta caused by a traffic accident 5 years earlier. Although he had been treated successfully by patch closure under extracorporeal circulation, chylothorax gradually manifested 9 days after the operation. The fact that our conservative treatment resulted in complete recovery from chylothorax, strongly suggested that progress of nutriology was a contributing factor.
