The first case report of chylous ascites in a twin pregnancy following in vitro fertilization: a case report of chylous ascites in twin pregnancy
Chylous ascites should be included in the differential diagnosis of unexplained ascites in twin gestation, particularly when the fluid exhibits a milky appearance. Although chylous ascites resolves spontaneously in the postpartum period, this condition may necessitate the termination of pregnancy and requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving obstetricians, gastrointestinal surgeons, radiologists, and nutritionists, for timely diagnosis and effective management.
