Abstract:
Isolated chylopericardium is an exceedingly rare complication in any age group. Review of the limited published case series shows the most common cause of isolated chylopericardium to be cardiac surgery. We present a case of isolated chylopericardium after a bidirectional Glenn procedure in an infant with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
