Two Patients with Chronic Pancreatitis Complicated by a Pancreaticopleural Fistula
Two patients presented with dyspnea and signs of chronic pancreatitis. Patient B had pleural effusion on chest X-ray. Patient A developed pleural effusion during the course of disease. On further analysis these pleural effusions showed elevated amylase concentrations. This finding suggested the diagnosis of a pancreaticopleural fistula which was confirmed by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreat...
متن کاملPancreaticopleural fistula: a rare complication of chronic pancreatitis.
Pancreaticopleural fistula is an uncommon sequelae of pancreatitis. The condition is often elusive, as respiratory rather than abdominal symptoms usually predominate and the fistula can be difficult to demonstrate radiologically. Confirmation is by demonstrating a high amylase content in the pleural aspirate relative to the serum. About half the fistulae will close with conservative treatment b...

An infantile case of chronic relapsing pancreatitis complicated by bilateral pancreaticopleural fistula and intractable pleural effusion is reported. Surgical drainage of the retroperitoneal pseudocyst proved effective, and the patient remains symptom free 3 years after surgery.

متن کاملPancreaticopleural fistula: a rare complication of ERCP – induced pancreatitis

The ensuing thoracic collections may be in the form of pleural effusions, pleural pseudocysts or mediastinal pseudocysts. Treatment options may be conservative or surgical. We present a case of post endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatogra...

The fistulous track ascends into the pleural cavity and gives rise to large volumes of pleural fluid. Pancreaticopleural fistula thus poses a diagnostic problem since the source of pleural fluid is extrathoracic. To further complicate the matter, abdominal pain is...
