Abstract

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) lymphangiography is a novel imaging technique with a potential role in suspected cases of lymphatic  leaks. A 15-year-old male with a post operative chylous leak and an 8-year-old male who developed chylous ascites secondary to  disseminated tuberculosis are presented. Both children underwent MR lymphangiography.


Contribution: The role of DCE-MR lymphangiography in cases of chylous ascites to help guide appropriate management.
