Abstract:
Neonatal lymphatic dysplasia is a congenital maldevelopment,causing effusion of chyle or lymph into the limbs or into the pleural,pericardial or peritoneal cavities,forming chylothorax ascites or edema,resulting in immunodeficiency and malnutrition.Neonatal lymphatic dysplasia is rare in neonate,but associated with significant mortality.So far,the etiology and pathological mechanism are still unclear.Lymphoscintigraphy is a diagnostic tool in newborns to obtain early diagnosis.Octreotide has been proposed for treatment of lymphatic dysplasia recently,however,the effiency and safety remain controversial.This article is to review the update in diagnosis and treatment of neonatal lymphatic disorders.
