Although different types of treatment of SA are reported in the literature, splenectomy represents the treatment of choice of ruptured SA. NTS SA is difficult to diagnose because of its rarity and non-specific clinical presentation, often fatal if left untreated. Although there is no gold standard for treating SA, splenectomy with peritoneal lavage is mandatory in case of ruptured SA with peritonitis.

Chylothorax is an uncommon form of pleural effusion characterized by the presence of chylomicrons, triglycerides and cholesterol in the physical and chemical examination of the pleural fluid. It may have poor prognosis if not properly treated. Currently, conservative measures are the first line of treatment for managing chylothorax. The aim of our study is to show and suggest the use of octreotide in association with talc poudrage as good option to manage post-operative a severe chylothorax. A 59-year-old male patient who underwent a replacement of the ascending aorta, aortic hemiarch and surgery of the aortic valve for aortic dissection showed a severe pleural effusion three months after surgery. Because the physical and chemical examination of the pleural fluid revealed high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, a conservative treatment with pleural drainage, TPN and nihil per os was attempted, with the introduction of 0.3 mg/die of octreotide on day thirty-four. With the application of talc poudrage, the chylothorax completely resolved. Octreotide has been shown to significantly decrease chylous effusion in many st
