Abstract
- The isolated fetal pleural effusion is rare and has no other signs of fetal hydrops. Its etiology is unknown but the most common cause is congenital chylothorax. We experienced a case of fetal pleural effusion diagnosed in the 35 weeks gestational age by antenatal ultrasonogram and antenatal diagnosis allowed early therapeutic intervention such as drainage of pleural fluid immediatly after birth. We diagnosed congenital chylothorax after neonate feeding changes the quality of pleural fluid from serous to milky So We report with a brief review and its related literatures.
