Chylothorax is the commonest cause of pleural effusion encountered during the perinatal period. Congenital chylothorax (CC) is rare with a prevalence of 1:10,000. CC could be due to congenital lymphatic malformation and may be associated with syndromes. We present a neonate with isolated congenital chylothorax. To best of our knowledge there are no published reports of CC in Sri Lanka.
