Study Design: Clinical case report.

Purpose: To report the rare case with post-operative chylous retroperitoneum after corrective surgery for adult spinal deformity.

Methods: We present a case of a 73-year-old woman with Parkinson's disease. She sustained a severe split fracture subluxation of the L3 vertebra with AO Spine Thoracolumbar classification type CN2M2, resulting in severe kyphoscoliosis in global alignment. She underwent a two-stage 720-degree anteroposterior-combined corrective surgery with anterior vertebral column resection of L3 and posterior fusion from T4 to the pelvis. On post-operative day 1, milky fluid in the drainage tube was noted, which was diagnosed as post-operative chylous retroperitoneum.

Results: Oral intake was discontinued immediately and peripheral parenteral nutrition was started. A low-fat, high-protein diet was started on post-operative day 4, and drainage was removed on day 6. A low-fat diet was continued until 3 months post-operatively, with dietary counselling by a nutritionist. The chylous retroperitoneum resolved without recurrence at the final follow-up evaluation at 3 years.

Conclusion: Surgeons should recognize this rare complication, which might be induced by direct damage to the lymphatic flow during an operative maneuver anterior to the lumbar vertebral body and indirect damage due to shearing force during correction of a subluxated vertebra, especially in cases with a severe deformity.

Rahul Hegde Ayah Megahed Prabin Sharma Anas Bamashmos Ian Karol

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent) 2020 Oct 1;34(1):138-140. Epub 2020 Oct 1.

Department of Radiology, Yale New Haven Health Bridgeport Hospital, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Chylous ascites occurs due to processes that elevate pressures within or obstruct the lymphatics in the retroperitoneum. In cirrhosis, spontaneous chylous ascites can occur but is uncommon. We describe a case of a 74-year-old man with cirrhosis from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis who presented with worsening abdominal distension and chylous ascites on paracentesis; an infiltrating retroperitoneal lymphoma was subsequently detected on computed tomography imaging.

Chylothorax, a rare complication after anterior lumbar interbody fusion. Case report

Authors:
Matias Pereira Duarte Gaston Camino Willhuber Martin Estefan Gonzalo Kido Julio Bassani Marcelo Gruenberg Carlos Sola Matias Petracchi

Rev Fac Cien Med Univ Nac Cordoba 2020 12 21;77(4):381-384. Epub 2020 Dec 21.

Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires.

Introduction: Chylous leakage into the retroperitoneum is a rare complication after spinal surgery using an anterior retroperitoneal approach. Chylothorax is the presence of lymphatic fluid in the pleural cavity and it is even less frequent during these surgeries. The aim of this work is to report the first case of isolated left chylothorax after a retroperitoneal Left Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion in supine position in an adult female patient. Read More
