We present a patient who showed a bilateral pleural effusion at the prenatal ultrasonographic study. After she was born, the diagnostic was established: bilateral quilothorax of unknown etiology, limited with the therapy applied during the first 7 days of life. We state the main clinical manifestations, trials to arrive to a diagnostic and used treatment.
