[Chylous ascites in infants].
In a one month-old boy apparently idiopathic chylous ascites recovered with enteral feedings of an elementary diet excluding long-chain triglycerides. The authors emphasize the usual idiopathic character of chylous ascites in very young infants; the little interest of invasive investigations at such an age when data suggesting etiology are lacking; the interest of a trial of a non-invasive medical treatment, such as the one reported.
