The lymph system can be altered in AN surgery, as there are important lymph vessels, nodes and glands in the neck. When this is damaged, one can have a leak in the lymphatic system - chylous leaks. This can lead to abnormal mri readings where a substance of white matter, like a cyst, can build up from the lymph fluid that is leaking. This can lead to low lymphocytes and a host of other problems. So many things can go wrong in the treatment of AN's.
