Abstract
A brief re-view of chylothorax is presented with comments on its occurrence, etiology, clinical features, and treatment. The embryology and anatomy of the lymphatic system as far as it is known is summarized. Scarcity of available published material detailing congenital anomalies is apparent and further investigation in this field is very necessary.Keywords
