Zusammenfassung
Chyle leak formation is produced by iatrogenic damage to the thoracic duct in head and neck surgeries. Given the suspicion of a cervical chyle leak, nutritional management and close follow-up should be initiated quickly, since they can have serious consequences such as immunosuppression, metabolic compromise and skin necrosis with exposure or even carotid rupture. We report the case of a patient with cervical chyle leak that required surgical reexploration to reach the chyle leak closure.
