좌측 광범위 경부 림프절 청소술 후 발생한 양측 유미흉 2예

Abstract

Bilateral chylothorax as a complication of radical neck dissection is extremely rare. Early diagnosis of chylothorax is important due to the consequences on metabolic & cardiopulmonary conditions. This present report describes our recent experiences with two cases of bilateral chylothorax following left modified radical neck dissection that was treated successfully by conservative management.
