A chyle leak occurs due to a discontinuity in the thoracic duct. It is a very rare condition that occurs as a result of injuries or surgical procedures. Chyle is rich in antibodies. Its functions are to maintain the equilibrium of the human fluid system, draw in fatty acids, and maintain the natural immunity of humans. It is identified by the increased quantity of drains, which show a milky white color and clinically palpable supraclavicular collection. It is a condition that has to be managed as soon as possible as it leads to serious nutritional debridement, electrolyte imbalance, and complications such as chylothorax and chylomediastinum. It is managed by various surgical and conservative approaches, such as ligating the thoracic duct, using sclerosing agents, giving total parenteral nutrition, and restricting physical activities, as discussed in this article.
