This study focuses on acute chyloperitoneum, a rare condition with an unclear incidence due to limited number of reported cases in the literature. Here, we present a 24-year-old Saudi female with chyloperitoneum diagnosed intraoperatively during a laparoscopic appendectomy for acute appendicitis that was managed successfully with a low-fat diet and drainage, alongside a literature review to elucidate the condition\u2019s pathophysiology and therapeutic strategies. A conservative management approach is recommended for acute chyloperitoneum in the context of appendicitis, this includes intraperitoneal drainage, appendectomy when needed, and careful observation. Our proposed management strategy aligns with findings from the literature review and supports conservative management as a safe and effective treatment modality for this rare condition.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjae527","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]],"date-time":"2024-08-30T23:02:50Z","timestamp":1725058970000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Understanding acute chyloperitoneum in appendicitis: case report and literature review"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2024","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-3159-5258","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdulaziz A","family":"Bazuhair","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Security Forces Hospital , King Fahad Suburb, Dammam 31413, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hessa S","family":"AlSubeai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Security Forces Hospital , King Fahad Suburb, Dammam 31413, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sarah H","family":"AlKhardawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Security Forces Hospital , King Fahad Suburb, Dammam 31413, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar Y","family":"AlKhlaiwy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Security Forces Hospital , King Fahad Suburb, Dammam 31413, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khaldoon A","family":"Alkhums","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Security Forces Hospital , King Fahad Suburb, Dammam 31413, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024083022574516500_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"240473","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/240473","article-title":"Chylous ascites: evaluation and management","volume":"2014","author":"Al-Busafi","year":"2014","journal-title":"ISRN Hepatology"},{"key":"2024083022574516500_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"816","DOI":"10.1111\/apt.14284","article-title":"Review article: the diagnostic approach and current management of chylous ascites","volume":"46","author":"Lizaola","year":"2017","journal-title":"Aliment Pharmacol Ther"},{"key":"2024083022574516500_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"761","DOI":"10.1067\/msy.2000.109502","article-title":"Chylous ascites: a collective review","volume":"128","author":"Aalami","year":"2000","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"2024083022574516500_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.14218\/JCTH.2017.00035","article-title":"Chylous ascites: a review of pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment","volume":"6","author":"Bhardwaj","year":"2018","journal-title":"J Clin Transl Hepatol"},{"key":"2024083022574516500_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"236","DOI":"10.5144\/0256-4947.1999.236","article-title":"Acute chylous peritonitis simulating acute appendicitis: a case report and review of the literature","volume":"19","author":"Fazili","year":"1999","journal-title":"Ann Saudi Med"},{"key":"2024083022574516500_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"154","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v12.i1.154","article-title":"Spontaneous chylous peritonitis mimicking acute appendicitis: a case report and review of literature","volume":"12","author":"Fang","year":"2006","journal-title":"World J Gastroenterol"},{"key":"2024083022574516500_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"54","DOI":"10.1159\/000129599","article-title":"Acute abdomen from chylous peritonitis: a surgical diagnosis.
