Abstract:
Spontaneous chylous peritonitis during pregnancy is a rare disease. Only a few publications are currently devoted to this problem. The authors reported successful treatment of a patient with spontaneous chylous peritonitis in the first trimester of pregnancy. Moreover, etiology, epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of patients with spontaneous chylous peritonitis and chiloperitoneum are analyzed. The authors consider laparoscopy as a safe and efficient method of treatment of patients with spontaneous chylous peritonitis including pregnant women.
