The use of high dose octreotide in management of neonatal chylothorax: Review.

Author: AlhasoonM A

Paper Details 
Original Abstract of the Article :
Being a rare condition, the incidence of chylothorax among neonates is low, but the mortality rate is high. In a dire effort to reduce the risk of death, octreotide treatment is used to effectively treat acquired and congenital chylothorax. Octreotide is proven to effectively treat chylothorax in pr...See full text at original site
