ABSTRACT
Chylothorax is a relatively uncommon condition defined as an abnormal collection of lymphatic fluid within the pleural space. We are reporting the use of OK-432 for treatment of prolonged idiopathic congenital chylothorax in 2 newborn infants who failed to respond to conservative medical therapy, including octreotide injection.
