Idiopathic Congenital Chylothorax Presented with Hydrops Fetalis Although congenital chylothorax is a rare cause of hydrops fetalis with an estimated prevalence of 1/10.000-15.000, it is the most common type of pleural effusion in fetus and newborn. If congenital chylothorax is diagnosed in foetal life with hydrops fetalis, it has high mortality rates. Congenital chylothorax may occur alone. Hovewer it has been also reported with other lymphatic anomalies, congenital heart diseases, Turner, Down and Noonan syndromes, congenital pulmonary lymphangiectasia, cytic hygroma and H-type tracheo-oesophageal fistula. Herein, we report a case of idiopathic congenital chylothorax presented with hydrops fetalis. Chylothorax should be considered in the differential diagnosis of newborns with hydrops fetalis. Early diagnosis and treatment of congenital chylothorax with hydrops fetalis may improve the survival rates of the these newborns.
