[Recurrent nonparasitic chyluria].
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of recurrent chyluria and review the diagnostic and therapeutic methods.


RESULTS
A case of non parasitic recurrent chyluria is presented. Retrograde pyelography demonstrated pyelolymphatic reflux. The patient presented chemical pyelitis secondary to the contrast medium which caused remission of the condition.


CONCLUSIONS
Chyluria is uncommon in our setting. Postprandial cystoscopy permits identification of the compromised renoureteral unit and perform pyelic instillation of sclerosing agents. Surgery should be reserved for those cases in whom conservative management has failed.
