Percutaneous sclerosing injection to the thoracic duct under CT guidance for cervical chylous leakage post...

Chylous leakage after thyroidectomy is rare, and almost all patients with this complication can be treated conservatively. However, in patients with high-flow leakage, treatments can be complicated. In this study, we report a case that was successfully treated by disrupting the thoracic duct using two sessions of percutaneous interventions. The first intervention was a thoracic duct embolization, and the second intervention was a sclerosing injection to the thoracic duct under computed tomography guidance.
