Retrograde thoracic duct embolization in an idiopathic case of chylopericardium.
J Cardiothorac Surg

Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King's Park, Hong Kong.
This is a novel case of idiopathic chylopericardium and chylothorax in a young male who had no significant medical history. He first presented with dyspnea due to idiopathic chylopericardium, which was refractory to medical and surgical treatments, including a medium-chain triglyceride diet, octreotide, and video-assisted pericardial window. The chylopericardium persisted and progressed to concomitant left-sided chylothorax.

Division of Interventional Radiology, Department of Radiology, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Purpose: To report outcomes, procedure and fluoroscopy times, and adverse event rates after intranodal lymphangiography (IL) and modified IL (mIL) for treatment of traumatic chylous leaks in the thorax and neck.
Methods: Under an IRB-approved protocol, retrospective review of a quality assurance database identified all lymphangiograms for post-surgical refractory chylous leaks in the thorax and neck at a tertiary center from 2002-2022. Records were reviewed for technical and clinical outcomes, procedure and fluoroscopy times, and adverse events.
Refractory Chylous Ascites Leading to Chylothorax Following Extended Right Hepatectomy for Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, Tenri Hospital, Tenri, JPN.
Chylous ascites, a rare but severe complication of abdominal surgery, often results from lymphatic vessel damage during procedures, such as extended resection and lymphadenectomy. Although conservative management through dietary modifications and medications is the primary approach, refractory cases may lead to severe complications including nutritional deficiencies and even death. Herein, we report a case of refractory chylous ascites that progressed to chylothorax after extended right hepatectomy with lymph node dissection for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.

RASopathies are a group of genetic syndromes caused by germline mutations in genes involved in the RAS/Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase signaling pathway, which regulates cellular proliferation, differentiation, and angiogenesis. Despite their involvement at different levels of this pathway, RASopathies share overlapping clinical phenotypes. Noonan syndrome is the most prevalent RASopathy, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 2500 live births, and it is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, with 50% of cases involving gain-of-function mutations in the PTPN11 gene.
