Tuberculous chylous ascites: pathognomonic CT findings

Abstract: The computed tomographic (CT) appearance of chylous ascites is usually that of water with corresponding attenuation coefficients. This case report depicts the fat-fluid level sign on CT (shown by supine and decubitus scans), which is pathognomonic of chylous ascites.

“…Occasionally, a pathognomonic CT finding of chylous ascites could be encountered termed the fat-fluid level sign [2,8]. Bipedal lymphangiography and lymphoscintigraphy are the imaging modalities used for diagnosis, and they have the advantage to localize the site of lymphatic leakage and so may facilitate surgical repair [9].…”
