Conclusion:
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the available
medical literature of a chylopericardium with superimposed bacterial
infection, successfully managed with antibiotics, surgical drainage, and
prolonged use of anti-inflammatories. Although sharing similarities with
purulent effusion, outcomes, and complications are yet to be elucidated.
