Chylous effusion in the chest from traumatic injury to the thoracic duct is a rare condition. Although Zesas1 in 1912 stated that the first case was reported by Bartolet in 1633, the first authentic case was reported by Quincke2 in 1875. In his article Zesas also reviewed eighteen reported cases of traumatic chylothorax, dating from Quincke's case. MacNab and Scarlett3 in 1932, adding their own case, found fifteen cases reported since the collection of Zesas. This made a total of thirty-four published reports of authentic cases. In 1933 Mouchet4 found forty-three reported cases, but this included some cases which Zesas had discarded because of insufficient data. Since Mouchet's article there have been five cases reported.5 The majority have been published in the French and German literature. In this country only six cases have been reported: by Watts6 in 1921, Andrews7 in 1929, MacNab and Scarlett in 1932, Heppner5 in 1934, Scott5 in 1934 and Lillie and Fox5 in 1935.
