Background: Congenital chyloperitoneum is an uncommon clinical
condition. A few cases of congenital chyloperitoneum in children have
been described who were treated in a variety of methods. Case
Presentation: Congenital chyloperito was diagnosed in a 5-day-old baby
boy with a significant abdominal distension. Due to the failed
conservative managements by medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) enriched
milk and partial parenteral nutrition (PPN), the authors tried platelet
rich fibrin glue (PRFG) as an alternative choice which was applied
through an already inserted intra-abdominal catheter. PRFG successfully
stopped the lymph leakage from all over the small intestinal mesentery;
thereby PRFG may be considered as an effective alternative treatment
before surgical intervention. Conclusion: Applying PRFG is an easy,
safe, and effective alternative option that may be used to close the
chylous ascites lymph leakage in children if conservative management
with PPN fails
