Abstract
A 70-year-old woman presents with recurrent idiopathic chylothorax refractory to both medical and surgical treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case where midodrine, an alpha-1 receptor agonist, was used as an adjunctive therapy for idiopathic chylothorax resulting in both a radiographic and clinical response.
