Ascites is a term that describes a pathological accumulation of fluid in a peritoneal cavity. It is generally a rare occurrence in a pediatric population and is most commonly associated with liver failure and cirrhosis. In that case, a diuretic treatment is usually implemented to relieve the ascites as it forms in the mechanism of water retention and water leakage from the portal venous system due to portal hypertension. It is important to note however that many other issues may cause ascites in children. Those require a catered approach suited to the pathomechanism of ascites formation in those underlying conditions. That is why a complex diagnostic process ought to be run in pediatric patients with ascites to correctly identify a condition causing it and provide the patient with adequate and thorough care.

“…Because of that mechanism, the constitution of ascitic fluid is more similar to the fluid in cirrhotic ascites than to that of uroascites. There have also been a few reports of nephrotic syndrome causing chylous ascites, usually by obstruction to lymphatics [62].…”

“…La pericarditis constrictiva es causa de AQ por deterioro del drenaje linfático con dilatación del conducto torácico e hipertensión que conduce a un aumento de la presión venosa hepática, aumentando así la producción de linfa 26 . También se ha reportado que el síndrome nefrótico es causa de AQ (Tabla 1) 27 .…”

Hay condiciones que resultan en la obstrucción o lesión del sistema linfático y que llevan a una filtración de la linfa a las cavidades subyacentes, dando lugar al llenado del espacio peritoneal, condicionando la aparición de ascitis quilosa (AQ). Las causas principales en adultos son las lesiones quirúrgicas, obstrucción, compresión extrínseca del sistema linfático, infección, cirrosis, enfermedades inflamatorias y tumores benignos o malignos. Existen diversos métodos diagnósticos como la paracentesis, citología del líquido ascítico, biopsia peritoneal, laparoscopia, así como estudios de imagen para complementar el diagnóstico.
