[Chylaskos in lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Peritoneo-venous drainage with Denver shunt].
Chylous ascites, due to a lymphangiomyomatosis and resistant to conservative therapy, occurred in a 30 year-old female. A distinct subjective and clinical improvement could be attained with the aid of a peritoneo-venous anastomosis employing a Denver-Shunt. With the preconditions that the implantation is correct and that it is reliably managed, we regard the Denver-Shunt system as a recommendable approach to the treatment of chylous ascites not controllable by conservative measures.
