Abstract
ABSTRACT
Idiopathic chylopericardium (CP) in the pediatric population is a rare entity with very few reported cases and is characterized by the accumulation of chyle in the pericardial cavity. There are no guidelines for the management of this rare entity. The present study reports a case of idiopathic CP in an infant and our experience of managing it by pericardial window creation using VATS and a multidisciplinary approach providing the optimum care for the child.
