ABSTRACT
Postoperative chylothorax can be a serious complication. We report on the case of a neonate who had a postoperative chylothorax immediately after esophageal surgery that did not respond to conservative measures or the first two attempts of surgical management of chylothorax. Lastly, a successful pleuroperitoneal shunt was placed and the patient was discharge at 3-months-old. A pleuroperitoneal shunt is usually the last surgical option but may be a curative measure.
