Résumé
An 11-year-old girl with kaposiform lymphangiomatosis presented with recurrent chylous pericardial effusions that were refractory to pericardial drainage and medical therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a prominent lymphatic duct with anterior mediastinal extension into the left clavicular region and a region of high signal that was favored to represent a low-flow lymphatic malformation. The patient underwent direct access thoracic duct lymphangiography with thoracic duct embolization and sclerotherapy of the large left-sided neck and pericardial lymphatic malformation. After the procedure, her pericardial effusions resolved, and she has remained asymptomatic for 15 months.
