Chylothorax nach Anlage eines zentralvenösen Katheters

Abstract: The authors report on a chylothorax, a rare, although classical complication of left internal jugular vein cannulation. The anatomy of major lymphatic vessels including variations is illustrated. The mechanisms of central venous catheter associated chylothorax are discussed. Likewise described are pathophysiology, signs, clinical features, and differential diagnosis with special consideration of the triglyceride content as well as treatment options.

“…A chylothorax due thoracic duct injury may follow a subclavian vein or jugular vein catheterization is uncommon complication and reported in 1–4.2% [34]. This complication is rarely recognised immediately, but leakage of lymphatic fluid at the puncture site may become apparent over time, making dressing care difficult, or a CXR may reveal nonspecific pleural effusion.…”

“…The true prevalence of cecal diverticulosis is difficult to ascertain, however, the reported frequency is about 1 in 300 appendectomies (1). Although generally asymptomatic, they are likely to become symptomatic in the presence of complications like inflammation, perforation and bleedings.…”

“…Although generally asymptomatic, they are likely to become symptomatic in the presence of complications like inflammation, perforation and bleedings. Making definitive diagnosis is challenging due to symptoms resembling those of acute appendicitis (1,2). Imaging modalities like ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) can be implemented in diagnosis.…”
