Abstract

Allergic reaction to the silicone is rare in children and as a result very little experience has been reported on symptom and treatment. We presented a case involving a child who experienced prolonged ascites following a surgery of placing an abdominal drainage tube, characterized by the ongoing drainage of clear, light-yellow fluid at a rate of 250 mL/day through the drainage tube for 36 days. Examination of the ascitic fluid revealed an abnormal elevation in eosinophil proportion, which exhibited positive response to anti-allergic treatment. Subsequent to the removal of the drainage tube, the ascites gradually resolved. In conclusion, we presented here the first and youngest case of allergic ascites associated with drainage tube after surgery of ovarian mucinous cystadenoma, it is imperative not to overlook the possibility of drainage tube allergy in the diagnostic process.

病例报告：术后腹水：一名 12 岁患者对引流管的过敏反应。

儿童对硅胶的过敏反应非常罕见，因此有关症状和治疗方法的报道非常少。我们介绍了一个病例，该患儿在接受腹腔引流管置入手术后出现了长时间腹水，其特点是引流管不断排出浅黄色透明液体，每天 250 毫升，持续 36 天。腹水检查显示嗜酸性粒细胞比例异常升高，对抗过敏治疗呈阳性反应。拔除引流管后，腹水逐渐消退。总之，我们在此介绍了第一例也是最年轻的一例卵巢粘液性囊腺瘤术后引流管相关过敏性腹水病例，在诊断过程中切勿忽视引流管过敏的可能性。

期刊介绍： Evidence of surgical interventions go back to prehistoric times. Since then, the field of surgery has developed into a complex array of specialties and procedures, particularly with the advent of microsurgery, lasers and minimally invasive techniques. The advanced skills now required from surgeons has led to ever increasing specialization, though these still share important fundamental principles. Frontiers in Surgery is the umbrella journal representing the publication interests of all surgical specialties. It is divided into several “Specialty Sections” listed below. All these sections have their own Specialty Chief Editor, Editorial Board and homepage, but all articles carry the citation Frontiers in Surgery. Frontiers in Surgery calls upon medical professionals and scientists from all surgical specialties to publish their experimental and clinical studies in this journal. By assembling all surgical specialties, which nonetheless retain their independence, under the common umbrella of Frontiers in Surgery, a powerful publication venue is created. Since there is often overlap and common ground between the different surgical specialties, assembly of all surgical disciplines into a single journal will foster a collaborative dialogue amongst the surgical community. This means that publications, which are also of interest to other surgical specialties, will reach a wider audience and have greater impact. The aim of this multidisciplinary journal is to create a discussion and knowledge platform of advances and research findings in surgical practice today to continuously improve clinical management of patients and foster innovation in this field.
