Abstract
Infection, trauma, cancer, or abdominal surgery can all induce chylous ascites. Chylous ascites (CA) following liver transplantation is extremely rare. The case we present here is of a patient who developed chylous ascites after a liver transplant and was treated with a combination of modalities before being resolved by lipiodol embolization of a lymphatic leak identified on fluorescent lymphangiography.
