Background: Chylothorax is the accumulation of chyle fluid in the pleural space. The incidence of chylothorax is quite common post-cardiac surgeries in pediatrics especially in Fontan procedures. Although several treatment lines are known for the management of chylothorax, steroids were scarcely reported as a treatment option. We present a unique case of a 4-year-old child who underwent Fontan procedure and suffered a long-term consequence of chylothorax. The chylothorax only fully resolved after introducing corticosteroids as part of her management. Methods: A literature review about management of chylothorax post-cardiac surgery in children using Ovid Medline (19462021), PubMed, and google scholar was performed. Conclusion: Conservative management without additional surgical intervention is adequate in most patients. Additionally, somatostatin can be used with variable success rate. However, a few cases mentioned using steroids in such cases. More research and reporting on the use of steroids in the treatment of chylothorax post-cardiac surgeries in children is needed to prove its effectivity. In this article, we describe a case of chylothorax post-Fontan procedure that supports the use of steroids.
