ABSTRACT

Pancreaticopleural fistula is an extremely rare complication of pancreatitis. We present a case of pancreaticopleural fistula in a patient with recurrent acute pancreatitis who presented with right-sided symptomatic pleural effusion. Pancreatic sphincterotomy and pancreatic duct stenting led to resolution of pleural effusion and withdrawal of the chest tube within 3 weeks.
