Abstract
This article details a rare instance of congenital pleural effusion, the cause of which was chylothorax. Congenital pleural effusions have several potential causes. To determine the cause, a variety of prenatal and postnatal tests can be performed. The range of presentations and the seriousness of the case’s complications determine the management strategy. A case of chylothorax is presented in this article, which was treated conservatively after postnatal confirmation through pleural fluid analysis.
