Zusammenfassung:	Aim: To analyse the main prenatal and postnatal features of congenital chylothorax (CC), and the outcome including mid‐term follow‐up. Methods: We searched our databases for CC diagnosed between 1990 and 2006. Data of 29 cases were retrieved and analysed. Follow‐up until 3 years of age was available for all patients.
