Pleurodesis
The production of adhesions between the parietal and visceral pleura. The procedure is used in the treatment of bronchopleural fistulas, malignant pleural effusions, and pneumothorax and often involves instillation of chemicals or other agents into the pleural space causing, in effect, a pleuritis that seals the air leak.

Pseudochylothorax in pleural effusion due to coronary artery bypass surgery. (1/145)
This study describes a 64-yr-old male with a chronic left pleural effusion following a coronary artery bypass 3 yrs earlier. On thoracocentesis, turbid fluid was obtained with crystals of cholesterol on microscopic examination, establishing the diagnosis of pseudochylothorax. The pleural fluid cholesterol level was 207 mg x dL(-1) (5.36 mmol x L(-1)). This is the first report of pseudochylothorax in a chronic pleural effusion due to coronary artery bypass surgery.

This report describes a patient with chylous pleural and pericardial effusions in conjunction with severe lymphoedema resembling elephantiasis. The chylous effusions and generalized lymphoedema were associated with a signet-ring cell carcinoma. (+info)Chylothorax after myocardial revascularization with the left internal thoracic artery. (3/145)
A 38-year-old male underwent coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). A saphenous vein graft was attached to the left marginal branch. The left internal thoracic artery was anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery (LAD). The early recovery was uneventful and the patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day. After three months, he came back to the hospital complaining of weight loss, weakness, and dyspnea on mild exertion. Chest X-rays showed left pleural effusion. On physical examination, a decreased vesicular murmur was detected. After six days, the diagnosis of chylothorax was made after a milky fluid was detected in the plural cavity and total pulmonary expansion did not occur. On the next day, both anterior and posterior pleural drainage were performed by videothoracoscopy, and prolonged parenteral nutrition (PPN) was instituted for ten days. After seven days the patient was put on a low-fat diet for 8 days. The fluid accumulation ceased, the drains were removed and the patient was discharged with normal pulmonary expansion. (+info)Fatal bilateral chylothorax in mice lacking the integrin alpha9beta1. (4/145)
Members of the integrin family of adhesion receptors mediate both cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions and have been shown to play vital roles in embryonic development, wound healing, metastasis, and other biological processes. The integrin alpha9beta1 is a receptor for the extracellular matrix proteins osteopontin and tenacsin C and the cell surface immunoglobulin vascular cell adhesion molecule-1. This receptor is widely expressed in smooth muscle, hepatocytes, and some epithelia. To examine the in vivo function of alpha9beta1, we have generated mice lacking expression of the alpha9 subunit. Mice homozygous for a null mutation in the alpha9 subunit gene appear normal at birth but develop respiratory failure and die between 6 and 12 days of age. The respiratory failure is caused by an accumulation of large volumes of pleural fluid which is rich in triglyceride, cholesterol, and lymphocytes. alpha9(-/-) mice also develop edema and lymphocytic infiltration in the chest wall that appears to originate around lymphatics. alpha9 protein is transiently expressed in the developing thoracic duct at embryonic day 14, but expression is rapidly lost during later stages of development. Our results suggest that the alpha9 integrin is required for the normal development of the lymphatic system, including the thoracic duct, and that alpha9 deficiency could be one cause of congenital chylothorax. (+info)Paragonimiasis miyazakii associated with bilateral pseudochylothorax. (5/145)
A 37-year-old man who suffered from bilateral pleural effusions, subcutaneous abdominal induration and blood eosinophilia, was admitted to our hospital. He had ingested raw crabs at a pub-restaurant before the onset of his symptoms. His pleural effusions were chyliform containing cholesterol crystals, and a high level of immunoglobulin E (36,580 IU/ml) and anti-Paragonimus miyazakii antibody were detected. He was effectively treated with praziquantel. This case suggests that paragonimiasis should be strongly suspected if blood eosinophilia, pseudochylothorax, and a high level of immunoglobulin E in pleural effusion are detected. (+info)Pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) developing chylothorax. (6/145)
We describe a case of pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis (LAM) with chylothorax that developed in a 46-year-old Japanese woman. This patient exhibited clinical symptoms of dyspnea and chest X-ray showed right pleural effusion. Thoracocentesis demonstrated chylous effusion. Chest computed tomography (CT) scan revealed multiple cystic lesions. Subsequent thoracoscopy revealed the chylorrhea from swelled vessels on the diaphragm. The clinical diagnosis, based on histological examinations with biopsy specimens obtained by thoracoscopy, was pulmonary LAM. Although the hormone therapy was not effective, chylous effusion was improved by the pleurodesis. Pulmonary LAM developing chylothorax is rare in Japan. (+info)Thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct. (7/145)
OBJECTIVE: When nonoperative treatment of chylothorax fails, thoracic duct ligation is usually performed through a thoracotomy. We describe two cases of persistent chylothorax, in a child and an adult, successfully treated with thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct. METHODS: A 4-year-old girl developed a right chylothorax following a Fontan procedure. Aggressive nonoperative management failed to eliminate the persistent chyle loss. A 72-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic man was involved in a motor vehicle accident, in which he sustained multiple fractured ribs, a right hemopneumothorax, a right femoral shaft fracture, and a T-11 thoracic vertebral fracture. Subsequently, he developed a right chylothorax, which did not respond to nonoperative management. Both patients were successfully treated with thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct. RESULTS: The child had significant decrease of chyle drainage following surgery. Increased drainage that appeared after the introduction of full feedings five days postoperatively was controlled with the somatostatin analog octreotide. The chest tube was removed two weeks after surgery. After two years' follow-up, she has had no recurrence of chylothorax. The adult had no chyle drainage following surgery. He was maintained on a medium-chain triglyceride diet postoperatively for two weeks. The chest tube was removed four days after surgery. After six months' follow-up, he has had no recurrence of chylothorax. CONCLUSIONS: Thoracoscopic ligation of the thoracic duct provides a safe and effective treatment of chylothorax and may avoid thoracotomy and its associated morbidity. (+info)Video-assisted thoracic surgery for the management of pleural and pericardial effusion in Behcet's syndrome. (8/145)
A 28-year-old man, who presented with pleural and pericardial chylous effusion secondary to superior vena cava syndrome, was diagnosed with Behcet's syndrome. A pericardial window was created by video-assisted thoracic surgery to relieve cardiac tamponade, and this technique also enabled lung biopsy, pleural abrasion, and drainage of the pleural effusion. We report this case because of its rarity. To the best of our knowledge, the literature contains no other report of the use of video-assisted thoracic surgery for creating a pericardial window for the treatment of cardiac tamponade in a case of Behcet's syndrome. (+info) Chylothorax is a type of pleural effusion, which is an accumulation of fluid in the space between the lining of the chest cavity (pleura) and the lung. Chylothorax occurs when lymphatic fluid leaks into the pleural space, causing the lung to become compressed and impaired in its ability to expand and contract properly. This can lead to shortness of breath, coughing, and chest pain.
There are several potential causes of chylothorax, including:
1. Injury or trauma to the chest wall or lymphatic vessels
2. Cancer, such as lung, breast, or lymphoma
3. Infection, such as tuberculosis or cat-scratch disease
4. Genetic conditions, such as Turner syndrome or Noonan syndrome
5. Inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or sarcoidosis
6. Postoperative complications
7. Pancreatitis
8. Abdominal tumors
9. Thoracic injuries
Symptoms of chylothorax may include:
1. Shortness of breath
2. Chest pain that worsens with deep breathing or coughing
3. Coughing up cloudy, milky fluid (chyle)
4. Fever
5. Night sweats
6. Weight loss
7. Fatigue
8. Swelling in the legs or arms
Diagnosis of chylothorax is typically made through a combination of physical examination, medical history, and diagnostic tests such as chest X-rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and ultrasound. Treatment options for chylothorax depend on the underlying cause, but may include:
1. Draining the fluid from the pleural space through a procedure called thoracentesis
2. Medications to manage symptoms such as pain and fever
3. Surgery to repair any underlying damage or injuries
4. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy to treat underlying cancer
5. Infection treatment if the chylothorax is caused by an infection
6. Conservative management with supportive care, such as oxygen therapy and respiratory therapy, if the condition is not severe.
Chylous ascites is a condition where there is an accumulation of chyle (a type of lymphatic fluid) in the peritoneal cavity, which can cause abdominal swelling and pain. It is often seen in patients with cancer, particularly those with pancreatic, ovarian, or lung cancer, as well as in patients with lymphatic obstruction or damage.
The symptoms of chylous ascites can include abdominal distension, pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. The condition is often diagnosed through a physical examination, imaging tests such as CT scans or ultrasound, and a sample of the ascitic fluid drawn from the peritoneal cavity.
Treatment options for chylous ascites depend on the underlying cause of the condition, but may include chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, or drainage of the ascitic fluid. In some cases, a procedure called paracentesis may be performed to remove excess fluid and relieve symptoms.
Prognosis for patients with chylous ascites is generally poor, as it is often a sign of an underlying malignancy or other serious condition. However, the outlook can vary depending on the specific cause of the condition and the effectiveness of treatment.
Pleural Effusion is an accumulation of fluid within the pleural space, which is the thin layer of tissue that lines the lungs and the inside of the chest cavity. The fluid can come from various sources such as inflammation, injury or cancer. It can cause shortness of breath, chest pain and coughing up blood. A diagnosis can be made through a physical examination, imaging tests like X-rays and CT scans and by taking a sample of the fluid with a needle. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and can range from draining the fluid to medications for infection or cancer treatment.
Osteolysis, Essential Definition:
Essential osteolysis is a rare genetic disorder that affects the bones and is characterized by progressive bone resorption, resulting in bone loss and deformity. It is caused by mutations in the TCIRG1 gene, which codes for a protein involved in the regulation of bone metabolism.
The symptoms of essential osteolysis typically begin in early childhood and may include bone pain, bowing or curvature of the limbs, short stature, and increased risk of fractures. The disorder can also lead to secondary effects such as joint contractures, muscle weakness, and spinal deformities.
There is no cure for essential osteolysis, and treatment is focused on managing the symptoms and preventing further bone loss. This may include physical therapy, braces or orthotics, pain management medications, and in some cases, surgery to correct deformities or stabilize weakened bones.
Essential osteolysis is a rare condition, affecting only about 1 in 100,000 individuals worldwide. It is often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed, and the exact prevalence is not well understood. However, with advances in genetic testing and medical imaging, early diagnosis and proper management of the condition are becoming more common.
Lymphangiectasis is a rare condition that affects the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste and excess fluids from the body. It occurs when the lymph vessels become dilated and tortuous, leading to a decrease in their function. This can cause swelling in the affected limb, as well as other symptoms such as pain, redness, and warmth.
There are several causes of lymphangiectasis, including:
1. Genetic mutations
2. Infections such as filariasis or tularemia
3. Inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or sarcoidosis
4. Trauma to the lymph vessels
5. Tumors that block the flow of lymph fluid
6. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy
7. Infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS
8. Vitamin deficiencies such as vitamin C or B12 deficiency
The diagnosis of lymphangiectasis is based on a combination of physical examination, medical history, and diagnostic tests such as imaging studies (e.g., CT or MRI scans), lymphoscintigraphy, and biopsy.
Treatment for lymphangiectasis depends on the underlying cause and may include:
1. Antibiotics to treat infections
2. Pain management medications
3. Anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce swelling
4. Compression garments or bandaging to reduce swelling
5. Elevation of the affected limb to reduce swelling
6. Surgery to remove blockages or repair damaged lymph vessels
7. Physical therapy to improve lymphatic drainage
8. Medications to treat underlying conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or HIV/AIDS
Prognosis for patients with lymphangiectasis varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. In general, early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications such as infection, fibrosis, and lymphedema.
