Pragmatic role of noncontrast magnetic resonance lymphangiography in postoperative chylothorax or cervical chylous leakage as a diagnostic and preprocedural planning tool.

• Noncontrast MRL provides limited resolution images of CLS but has a high sensitivity for the detection of postoperative chylous leakage in the thoracic and neck regions. • Noncontrast MRL is suboptimal for depicting anatomic details in the thoracic duct and jugulovenous junction but can play a role as a decision-making and a planning tool for subsequent lymphatic interventions.
