title: [Chyledema].
abstract: The principal types of reflux of chyle are reviewed in relation to the different pathological localizations at which it may occur, these including chylothorax, chylopericardium, chyloperitonitis, chylous ascites, exudative enteropathies, chyluria, genital chyledema and chylometrorrhea and chylocele, etc. A new approach to therapy of these conditions has been provided by microsurgical techniques which constitute presently an effective procedure for many cases.
