Case report: investigation of chyluria

Clin Radiol. 1994 Feb;49(2):137-9. doi: 10.1016/s0009-9260(05)83458-0.

Abstract

We present a case of chyluria in which the demonstration of abnormal lymphaticourinary communication was established by conventional lymphangiography. Radiocolloid lymphoscintigraphy failed to demonstrate the site of leakage, probably due to technical factors which are discussed.
