No further investigation was done at that moment. This current presentation noted a dullness in percussion up to midzone of right lung and reduce air entry on auscultation as well. The pigtail catheter was inserted over the right pleural space and it was confirmed as a chylothorax with a present of cholesterol in a pleural fluid analysis. Computed tomography of the thorax showed complete occlusion of the superior vena cava with an established collateral circulation. Lymphangiogram revealed lipiodol seen opacified lymph node and lymphatic vessels until the level of T3 on the right and T5 on the left. There was no obvious lipiodol opacification seen at the region of the right thorax. Effusion was improved after the instillation of fibrinolytic agent and the the chest radiograph shows improvement.
