title: [Chyloperitoneum causing intestinal obstruction].
abstract: The two cases reported here show intestinal obstruction may occur by coagulation of lymph around the loops. They permit us to better understand the physiopathology of blockage of the lymph vessels whether congenital as in the first case or traumatic as in the second case. Traumatic rupture of the cisterns chyli is exceptional. The histological lesions observed on clamped biopsies show clearly the pathology of protein-losing enteropathy.
