    AbstractChylothorax is a rare disorder, predominantly of traumatic (iatrogenic) or tumorous aetiology. Its symptomatology complies with other types of fluidothorax. Long-term chylous depletion may result in malnutrition and other metabolic and immunological symptoms. Infectious complications are rare. The authors present a literature overview and their own case-review of chylothorax resulting from the suprarenal aortic aneurysm surgery. The conservative management failed and the complication in the 75-year old patient was managed using pleuroabrasion and talk pleurodesis.
