摘要

乳糜胸在儿童胸腔积液中相对少见

而常规影像不能显示胸导管

要用影像方法发现外漏的部位很难做到

尤其在儿童更难。本文报告一例6个月乳糜胸患儿成功利用磁共振胰胆管成像序列（MRCP）及经足背皮内注射钆双铵行T

WI频谱预饱和反转恢复序列（SPIR）行MR淋巴管造影发现胸导管外漏部位

提示该影像方法对于乳糜胸婴儿患者是简单而有效的胸导管检查方法。

Abstract

Chylothorax is a rare cause of pleural effusion in children

and it is usually difficult to identify the location of chyle leakage due to the small size of the thoracic duct in children. Herein we report an infant case with chylothorax whose leakage of the thoracic duct was successfully located by magnetic resonance lymphangiography (MRL) using pre-contrast MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and gadodiamide-enhanced spectral presaturation inversion recovery (SPIR) T

-weighted imaging

which demonstrate the imaging method is easy and effective for detecting the focal disruption of the thoracic duct in children with chylothorax and younger than 8 months old.
