We related there a traumatic chylothorax due to a thoracic vertebral fracture. It has been recognized at the 13st day, after a lost of 11 liter of lymph and a down of albuminemia by lymphography. The direct ligature has been only partly successful leaving still a tiny lymph leak during a fortnight.

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.

Lymphatic leakage, manifesting as chylothorax or chylous ascites, arises from traumatic or nontraumatic causes and poses severe risks such as malnutrition and increased infection susceptibility. Accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment strategy necessitate comprehensive lymphatic imaging. Conventional lymphangiography and dynamic contrast-enhanced MR lymphangiography (DCMRL) have been widely used and studied as effective lymphatic imaging methods.

Non-traumatic chylothorax is the abnormal collection of chyle in the pleural space without associated trauma to the thoracic duct. Untreated chylothorax is linked to serious complications and high mortality. A 68-year-old male with a five-year history of systemic hypertension presented with a two-month history of cough, dyspnea, and weight loss.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance lymphangiography (DCMRL) in diagnosing and planning treatment for different lymphatic disorders.
- A retrospective analysis included 70 patients, primarily with traumatic chylothorax and lymphatic leaks, assessing DCMRL's technical success and its influence on clinical outcomes.
- Results showed high technical success rates for nontraumatic disorders, with 90.3% of patients with suitable anatomy achieving clinical improvement, highlighting DCMRL's role in identifying underlying causes and planning interventions.

Chylothorax represents the accumulation of chyle in the pleural cavity due to leakage from the thoracic duct or its tributaries. Intraoperative intrathoracic lymphatic injury is a common cause, but it can also occur on its own. Management of chylothorax involves both medical therapy and, in some cases, surgery for postoperative patients and those who haven't responded to medical therapy.
