    AbstractA 35-day-old female was referred to our department because of congenital chylothorax. Medical treatment with dietary restriction was undertaken for 5 weeks without resolution of the effusion. A video-assisted thoracic surgery was performed. The mediastinal pleura was covered with fibrin glue. The postoperative course was satisfactory. She was discharged with resolution of the effusion. Video-assisted thoracic surgery offers an effective means of treating chylothorax.
