Özet

Lymphatic complications are associated with increased morbidityandmortalityinsingle-ventriclepatients.T2-weighted magnetic resonance lymphangiography is an imaging modality of increasing importance both to identify the risk status before Fontan palliation and to reveal lymphatic complications that may occur in the postoperative period. In this article, we present the management of a pediatric case who was followed and treated for prolonged chylothorax after Fontan palliation and discuss the use of magnetic resonance lymphangiography in this process.
