The incidence of chylopericardium is very low, as this diagnosis is rarely reported following cardiac procedures in children. While some reports were published worldwide on isolated chylopericardium after cardiac surgeries for diverse reasons, it has never been reported after repair for partial anomalous pulmonary venous return. In addition, management of this diagnosis ends up being surgical with minimal concentration on medical treatment which proved unsuccessful. We present a medical approach with corticosteroids as an effective method to treat isolated chylopericardium.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951119002889_as2\"><jats:title>Case presentation:<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this manuscript, we present an approach to treat isolated post-operative chylopericardium in a child following repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return.

A review of the literature showed that most patients follow a conservative approach consisting of diuretics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents with some of them undergoing surgical re-intervention. With future research on the topic still needed, we hope that this will encourage physicians worldwide to consider administering a trial of corticosteroids as an option to treat chylopericardium.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s1047951119002889","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,26]],"date-time":"2019-12-26T20:57:47Z","timestamp":1577393867000},"page":"1426-1431","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Steroids
