Abstract

A chylothorax can occur as a rare complication of intensive care treatment and can lead to infection and thrombosis as well as to metabolic acidosis, electrolyte derangement and finally to respiratory insufficiency with potentially fatal outcome. In the following article the case of a 9-month-old female infant is described who died as a consequence of hypoxic brain damage after a 27-day period of intensive care treatment. The postmortem examination additionally showed a bilateral chylothorax mainly as a consequence of a traumatic iatrogenic injury in the context of bilateral positioning of central venous catheters (CVC).
