Thoracoscopic pericardial window creation for chylous pericarditis in infant.
15 days old baby admitted on NICU for tachypnea. Rt hydrothorax was identified and pleural drainage was inserted. 3 weeks later thoracoscopic lymphatic duct ligation performed due to lack of conservative management. 1 month later he was admitted due to pericardial effusion and pericardial drainage was inserted. But 2 weeks later thoracoscopic pericradial window creation procedure was done because pericardial effusion continuously drained though pericardial tube. Uneventful recovery and there was no any complications during 1 year long-term follow-up.
