Endoscopic symphathicotomy is an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis. Chylothorax is a rare but life-threatening complication. We recently encountered a case of chylothorax after endoscopic symphathicotomy at T2-T4 symphathetic nerve. We successfully treated chylothorax by electric cauterization with thoracic endoscopy.

The thoracic duct cyst is an extremely rare cystic lesion in the mediastinum. Surgical treatment of the cyst is necessary to confirm histologic diagnosis and prevent potential complications such as spontaneous or traumatic rupture of the cyst and chylothorax.

Endoscopic sympathicotomy is the choice of the treatment for hyperhidrosis. There are some recognized risks such as Honer's syndrome and Hemopneumothorax; however, Chylothorax has very rarely been reported after thoracic sympathicotomy. We recently encountered a case of chylothorax. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is noteworthy.

Chyle is the digestive product absorbed from intestinal lymphatics which the component have high concentration of triglyceride and protein. The various pathological circumstances which give rise to intrathoracic effusion of chyle are well documented and so the etiology is clearly defined in most instances. However, the occurrence of chylothorax in early infancy, in the absence of other demonstrable diseases and without apparent birth trauma, suggests the existence of congenital malformation of the thoracic ducts. We lately experienced a 20 day old new born who was proved to have congenital chylothorax by clinical history and laboratory findings. So we report the clinical findings and laboratory findings with the review of the literatures on congenital chylothorax.

Chylothorax is a debilitating condition to the point of threatening life. Diagnosis and subsequent management present significant problems for the clinician and the adverse effects of chyle loss on nutrition status and immune function result in devastating consequences for the patient. prompt diagnosis is essential to institute an effective therapeutic regimen. we reported a patient of idiopathic bilateral chylothorax treated by conservative approach with review of literatures.
