Abstract: Introduction: latrogenic injury of the thoracic duct or its branches during cervical neck surgery is a rare condition, that usually it is limited and treated conservatively. Case report: we report an unusual case of a patient that showed a large neck lymphocele after surgery of a lusoria dysphagia and reimplantation of the aberrant subclavian artery in the common carotid artery. Discussion: after surgical reintervention due to recurrent lymphatic leakage, she underwent a thoracic ductus embolization with glue to be definitively closed.
