Background  One anastomosis gastric bypass- minigastric bypass (OAGB-MGB) is an emerging bariatric surgery that is being endorsed by surgeons worldwide. Internal herniation is a rare and dreaded complication after malabsorptive bariatric procedures, which necessitates early diagnosis and intervention.    Case presentation  We describe a 29-year-old male with chylous ascites caused by an internal hernia 8 months following laparoscopic one anastomosis gastric bypass. An abdominal CT showed enlargement of lymph nodes at the mesentery, with a moderate amount of liquid in the abdomen and pelvis. An emergent exploratory laparoscopic surgery demonstrated an internal hernia at the Petersen’s space with a moderate quantity of chylous ascites. The patient made an uneventful recovery after surgery.    Conclusions  Internal herniation can occur after OAGB-MGB and in extremely rare cases lead to chylous ascites. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of chylous ascites following one anastomosis gastric bypass.
