Percutaneous sclerosing injection to the thoracic duct under CT guidance for cervical chylous leakage post thyroidectomy: A case report

Chylous leakage after thyroidectomy is rare, and almost all patients with this complication can be treated conservatively. However, in patients with high-flow leakage, treatments can be complicated. In this study, we report a case that was successfully treated by disrupting the thoracic duct using t...

Sumario:Chylous leakage after thyroidectomy is rare, and almost all patients with this complication can be treated conservatively. However, in patients with high-flow leakage, treatments can be complicated. In this study, we report a case that was successfully treated by disrupting the thoracic duct using two sessions of percutaneous interventions. The first intervention was a thoracic duct embolization, and the second intervention was a sclerosing injection to the thoracic duct under computed tomography guidance.
