Abstract

BHATIA, Pratibha et al. Utility of MR lymphangiography in chylous ascites: A report of two cases. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v27i1.2703.

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) lymphangiography is a novel imaging technique with a potential role in suspected cases of lymphatic leaks. A 15-year-old male with a post operative chylous leak and an 8-year-old male who developed chylous ascites secondary to disseminated tuberculosis are presented. Both children underwent MR lymphangiography. CONTRIBUTION: The role of DCE-MR lymphangiography in cases of chylous ascites to help guide appropriate management

Keywords : MR lymphangiography; central conducting lymphatics; chylous ascites; nodal lymphangiography; cisterna chyli.
