Abstract:
Chylopericardium generally occurs after
thoracic surgery or trauma. Primary
idiopathic chylopericardium is an extremely
rare condition especially in children
and young adults. In recent years,
a few case reports have been published
on primary idiopathic chylopericardium
due to lymphatic leak and fistula into the
pericardium [1, 2, 3]. In this report, we
described a 4-year-old boy with primary
idiopathic chylopericardium presenting
as cardiac tamponade.
