Abstract
This brief report demonstrates the diagnostic utility of cone-beam CT lymphangiography (CBCTL) with intranodal injection of water-soluble iodinated contrast agent for assessing lymphatic disorders in two infants who were contraindicated for MRI and oil-based contrast agent. Both infants had dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) and presented with high-output chylothoraces that were recalcitrant to conservative medical therapy. Both infants were diagnosed with central lymphatic flow disorder based on the CBCTL findings.
