Background: Congenital chylothorax is the most common cause of pleural effusion in newborn infants. These infants show signs of respiratory distress at birth. Chemical pleurodesis with OK-432 has recently been proposed for cases of persistent congenital chylothorax as an alternative method to surgery. Here we report a case of neonate with congenital chylothorax who developed hemothorax and shock as received OK-432 pleurodesis. Finally, his congenital chylothorax responded to high dose of octreotide. Although very rare, clinicians should be aware that OK-432 intrapleural instillations may be complicated with hemothorax.
