Abstract:
Chyluria is characterized by the presence of chyle in the urine and often presents clinically as urinary obstruction. Traditional treatments include dietary modifications, surgery and sclerotherapy. The recently developed intranodal lymphangiography and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR lymphangiography (DCMRL) provide better imaging of the lymphatic system. Interstitial lymphatic embolization is a new interventional technique that allows delivery of n-butyl cyanoacrylate glue into the network of the lymphatic vessels. This report describes the demonstration of lympho-urinary tract communications using DCMRL and intranodal lymphangiography in three patients who presented with chyluria, and successful treatment of chyluria in two patients using interstitial lymphatic embolization.

Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
