Successful Treatment of Congenital Chyloperitoneum with Platelet-Rich Fibrin Glue

Background: congenital chyloperitoneum is an uncommon clinical condition. a few cases of congenital chyloperitoneum in children have been described who were treated in a variety of methods. case presentation: congenital chyloperito was diagnosed in a 5-day-old baby boy with a significant abdominal distension. due to the failed conservative managements by medium-chain triglycerides (mct) enriched milk and partial parenteral nutrition (ppn), the authors tried platelet rich fibrin glue (prfg) as an alternative choice which was applied through an already inserted intra-abdominal catheter. prfg successfully stopped the lymph leakage from all over the small intestinal mesentery; thereby prfg may be considered as an effective alternative treatment before surgical intervention. conclusion: applying prfg is an easy, safe, and effective alternative option that may be used to close the chylous ascites lymph leakage in children if conservative management with ppn fails.
