title: Posttraumatic chyluria due to lymphorenal fistula regressed after somatostatin therapy.
abstract: A sudden-onset chyluria after trauma was evaluated giving evidence of a lymphatic-urinary fistula in the right kidney. Treatment with somatostatin normalized the urinary pattern and the result was maintained even after the discontinuation of the therapy.
