He failed conservative management of chylous ascites and this was successfully managed with a peritoneovenous shunt. The pathophysiology and management of post radiational chylous ascites is discussed. © 2009 Shelat et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. | Source Title: | Cases Journal | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/178213 | ISSN: | 1757-1626 | DOI: | 10.1186/1757-1626-2-9393 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
