The thesis presents a clinical case of successful conservative treatment of a premature newborn with simultaneously developed chylothorax, chylopericardium and chyloperitoneum. The nature of the effusion is confirmed by biochemical studies and the predominance of lymphocytes. Intensive care included long-term parenteral nutrition, octreotide with increasing doses, artificial ventilation and fasting.
