Transient chylous ascites following a distal splenorenal shunt.

The development of chylous ascites following abdominal surgery is an infrequent yet alarming complication.

Ten days following bed rest, sodium restriction, and a low-fat diet with medium-chain triglyceride supplementation the ascites resolved.
