We describe a complicated rare case of refractory right-sided pleural effusions and
ascites due to NRH and presinusoidal portal hypertension that was successfully treated with a transjugular intrahepatic portal systemic shunt (TIPS).
Chylous
ascites is a rare cause of turbid dialysate and has been associated with lymphoma, pancreatitis, and superior vena cava syndrome.
Non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest (Figure 1) revealed large right-sided pleural effusion, and contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (Figure 2) revealed bilateral hilar adenopathy,
ascites, thickening and enhancement of the peritoneum, and mottled nodular-appearing soft tissue consistent with omental caking suspicious for peritoneal carcinomatosis.
Ultrasound findings that may increase suspicion of fetal midgut volvulus may include dilated bowel loops, intraabdominal calcifications, abdominal mass, polyhydramnios, gastric dilatation, and
ascites. Doppler studies can demonstrate an elevated peak systolic velocity in the middle cerebral artery due to severe fetal anaemia, secondary to haemorrhagic
ascites.
On physical examination, she was pale, emaciated, afebrile, and with abdominal distension for
ascites without tension.
Evaluation at an outside hospital identified massive
ascites and concluded with a provisional diagnosis of cirrhosis on the basis of
ascites and the abnormal appearance of the liver on abdominal computed tomography (CT).
Chylous
ascites and chylopleura due to constrictive pericarditis are rare and characterized by white milky
ascites and pleural fluid.
She said, fatigue, vascular spiders, enlarged or shrunken liver, enlarged spleen, finger clubbing,
ascites and bruising are some of the symptoms.
A 32-year-old man presented with severe abdominal pain and
ascites. His medical history included diagnosis of Sandifer syndrome, scoliosis requiring 3 spinal surgeries, microgastria, and hiatal hernia repair, and most recently, laparoscopic cholecystectomy (7 weeks prior).
Keywords: Abdominal trauma, chylous
ascites, chyloretroperitoneum
Conclusion: Pigtail application is a safe and effective method for draining
ascites in patients with OHSS after ICSI treatment.
ascites - accumulation of serous fluid in peritoneal cavity
