Thoracic duct obstruction leading to chylous mesenteric cyst in an female obese adolescent: a case report
This case report emphasizes the importance of imaging evaluation of the lymphatic system for the diagnosis and management of mesenteric cysts. A treatment strategy that combines surgery targeting lymphatic system abnormalities with a personalized nutritional plan can provide a novel and less invasive alternative to traditional surgical resection of chylous mesenteric cysts, addressing the underlying etiology while minimizing surgical trauma and potential complications.
