Isolated primary chylopericardium, a rare condition, was successfully treated in an infant using thoracic duct ligation and a pleuropericardial window. This surgical intervention resolved the persistent pericardial effusion after other treatments failed.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Rare Diseases

Background:

  • Isolated primary chylopericardium is a rare condition with unknown causes.
  • Infantile cases present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 10-week-old infant exhibited tachypnea and cardiomegaly due to large pericardial effusion.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed as chylopericardium via pericardiocentesis.

Findings:

  • Initial treatments including pericardial drainage and dietary changes were ineffective.
  • Surgical intervention involving thoracic duct ligation and a pleuropericardial window achieved complete resolution.

Implications:

  • This case highlights a successful surgical approach for refractory infantile chylopericardium.
