Figure 1 Magnetic resonance images showing abnormal lymphatic collaterals with associated increased tissue edema and “pools” of fluid accumulation (dashed box), presumably related to abnormal lymphatic overload. White arrows, abnormal tortuous thoracic duct; white arrow heads, abnormal lymphatic collaterals; yellow arrows, areas of increased tissue edema.
