True regarding presentation (s) of thoracic duct injury

Thorasic duct injury commonly leads to chylothorax. Given the high volume of chyle that flows through the thoracic duct, significant injuries can cause leaks in excess of 2 L per day; if left untreated, protein, lymphocyte, and volume depletion can lead to serious metabolic effects and death.
