Use of octeriotide in the management of neonatal chylothorax secondary to repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a report of two cases and review of literature.
Journal of Clinical Neonatology 2012 April
Chylothorax, a known complication of surgery for Congenital Diaphragmatic hernia, can sometimes be resistant to treat. Octeriotide (Somatostatin analogue) can be useful in this situation. However, the dose and schedule of Octeriotide therapy in neonates is not well established. We report two cases of resistant chylothorax following surgery for congenital diaphragmatic hernia which were successfully managed by using an escalating infusion of octeriotide. The literature on the subject is also reviewed.
