| dc.description.abstract | Chylous leakage is an unusual complication following anterior spinal surgery. This leakage can occur as a result of traumatic injury to the thoracic duct, the cisterna chyli, or the retroperitoneal lymphatic vessels. We report a case of a 56 year old female with thoracic spine disc prolapses with cord compression. She had chylous leakage following anterior transthoracic decompression and was managed conservatively. The leakage stopped 6 days postoperatively and subsequent recovery was uneventful. | en_US |
