    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Gastroenterology
    • Neonatology

    Background:

    • Chylous ascites is a rare condition in infants, often idiopathic.
    • Diagnosis in neonates typically lacks clear etiological data, making invasive investigations less useful.

    Observation:

    • A one-month-old infant presented with idiopathic chylous ascites.
    • The infant was treated with enteral nutrition using an elementary diet devoid of long-chain triglycerides.

    Findings:

    • The infant fully recovered from chylous ascites following the specialized dietary intervention.
    • This case highlights the efficacy of non-invasive treatment approaches.

    Implications:

    • Non-invasive management, particularly dietary modification, should be considered for idiopathic chylous ascites in neonates.
  • Avoidance of invasive procedures is recommended when etiological factors are unclear in this age group.
