The authors describe a patient with chylous ascites caused by constrictive pericarditis in the absence of lymphatic obstruction. Cardiac catheterization is essential for the confirmation of accurate diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis. Magnetic resonance imaging of the heart is also very helpful in the diagnosis. The patient was symptom free and his ascites and edema completely resolved after pericardiectomy.
