    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Abdominal Surgery
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Chylous ascites, the accumulation of chyle in the peritoneal cavity, is an uncommon condition.
    • Acute presentation with peritonitis is rare, often mistaken for other causes of acute abdomen.
    • Distinguishing acute from chronic chylous ascites is crucial for management.
