It results from disruption of normal intestinal lymphatic flow. It is caused mainly by congenital anomalies, trauma, and malignancy. Chylous ascites following blunt abdominal injury is uncommon in pediatrics. Chyle duct and pancreatic injuries present a rare clinical sequela yet to be reported in the literature. Conservative management is the mainstay of treating chyle duct injuries, reserving invasive measures for unique circumstances.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A case of an eleven-year-old female who suffered blunt thoracoabdominal trauma and sustained injuries to the chest, pancreas, and chyle duct. She had clinical signs of peritonism and decreased air entry on the right hemithorax. While she underwent abdominal exploration, the chylous ascites eventually resolved on conservative management, and the pancreatic pseudocyst was later drained percutaneously.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Chylous ascites and pancreatic pseudocyst is uncommon in pediatrics. While surgery is indicated in selected cases, a conservative approach is advocated in managing lymphatic leaks. Diet with low triglycerides and high protein is advocated to decrease lymph production. Treatment of pancreatic pseudocyst varies from conservative (watchful waiting) to drainage measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although chylous ascites is not expected following trauma, has to be considered among differential free peritoneal fluid. Pancreatic injuries are common but difficult to diagnose. CT and MRCP are preferred modalities for diagnosing pancreatic injuries. While dietary modification and drainage of the chylous ascites were the mainstays in managing chyle duct injury, pancreatic pseudocyst resolved after percutaneous drainage.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2022.107406","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,11]],"date-time":"2022-07-11T12:36:10Z","timestamp":1657542970000},"page":"107406","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Chylous ascites and pancreatic pseudocyst on a child following blunt abdominal trauma; a case report"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"97","author":[{"given":"Kennedy","family":"Misso","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bahati","family":"Robert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joachim","family":"Magoma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tendai","family":"Joylene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Msuya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-34-20260309","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-017-1383-3","article-title":"Pancreatic injury in children: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"11","author":"Haider","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
