Abstract

 Introduction: A rare condition in newborns called CONGENITAL CHYLOTHORAX (CC) occurs when lymphatic fluid accumulates within the pleural cavity. Here is a presentation of a birth traumatic case with bilateral PLEURAL EFFUSION successfully treated by OCTREOTIDE.Case Presentation: A 3100-g-term male newborn delivered vaginally from a 33-year-old mother was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with respiratory distress signs. Early chest x-ray (CXR) showed bilateral PLEURAL EFFUSION. The thoracentesis pleural fluid had been drained with these characteristics: glucose: 1.9425 mmol/l, protein: 11 g/l, cholesterol: 1.295 mmol/l, and triglycerides: 3.39 mmol/l. Counts of red blood cells and white blood cells were 10, 000 and 2500 per Cu/mm, respectively; so, CONGENITAL CHYLOTHORAX was diagnosed and total parenteral nutrition (TPN) were initiated. Accumulation of plural fluid was approximately stopped after begging TPN for two weeks. Therefore, we started feeding with a medium chain triglyceride (MCT), but plural effusion was seen once again and we had to restart TPN. We decided to start OCTREOTIDE subcutaneously (1 mg/kg/day). Finally, the CXR and ultrasound ’did not show any PLEURAL EFFUSION in both sides and the ultrasound done in the third month showed no PLEURAL EFFUSION either.Conclusions: OCTREOTIDE therapy as one of the conservative managements for CC can be considered before surgical methods. This treatment method also had some effects on the feeding initiation time and helped us to start feeding sooner. However, more studies like clinical trials are still necessary to investigate all aspects of OCTREOTIDE treatment to determine the amount of its dose, initiation time, treatment duration, etc.
