TI  - An Unusual Complication of Internal Jugular Vein
Catheterization: Chylothorax
AB  - Background: Infection and vascular occlusion are common catheter-related complications in patients with central venous catheters.
Case Report: A hemodialysis patient presented at the emergency department with frequent shortness of breath. Diffuse
pleural fluid was observed on the right side in a computerized tomography image of the chest. Thoracentesis was performed,
a chest tube was inserted to treat chylothorax, and a triglyceride diet was administered. On the 13th day of hospitalization,
the chest tube was removed and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed with successful results.
Conclusion: Chylothorax should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of hemodialysis patients with hypervolemia
symptoms. Thoracentesis can aid in the diagnosis.
