Abstract

Background:Congenital chylous ascites is a very rare condition that has been well recognized as early as the 1950s, and was mostly called “Congenital chyloperitoneum” during that time. Few cases have been reported during the 1960s, and in 1967, Craven et al attributed the development of congenital chylous ascites to obstruction of the cisterna chyli and chylous reflux into the peritoneal space and small intestine and they demonstrated lymphangiographically. Patients and methods: The use of a unique dietary therapy for the treatment of congenital chylous ascites is briefly described and the relevant literature is described. Results:An infant with congenital chylous ascites was seen at about the age of two and half months. He was initially treated with intravenous somatostatin infusion, and thereafter by repeated paracentesis, and continued to receive breast and bottle milk feedings. However, when he was first seen, ultrasound was still showing moderate ascites. The boy was successfully treated a combination of a unique form of very low-fat diet and octreotide acetate subcutaneous injections. Treatment was not associated with a negative effect on growth or development, and no evidence of nutritional deficiency was observed. Conclusion: The case number 112 of congenital chylous ascites is reported and its unique therapeutic approach is described.
112例先天性Chylous腹水及其成功治疗
背景:先天性乳糜腹水是一种非常罕见的疾病,早在20世纪50年代就已被广泛认识,在当时大多被称为“先天性乳腺炎”。在20世纪60年代,很少有病例报道,1967年,Craven等人将先天性乳糜腹水的发展归因于乳糜池阻塞和乳糜回流到腹膜间隙和小肠,并在淋巴管造影中证实了这一点。患者和方法:简要介绍一种独特的饮食疗法治疗先天性乳糜性腹水,并介绍相关文献。结果:一名婴儿在大约两个半月大时出现先天性乳糜腹水。他最初接受了静脉注射生长抑素的治疗,之后进行了反复的穿刺,并继续接受母乳和奶瓶喂养。然而,当他第一次被看到时,超声波仍然显示出中度腹水。这名男孩成功地接受了一种独特的低脂饮食和醋酸奥曲肽皮下注射相结合的治疗。治疗对生长发育没有负面影响,也没有观察到营养缺乏的证据。结论:报告112例先天性乳糜性腹水,并介绍其独特的治疗方法。
