Abstract

Pancreaticopleural fistula is a rare complication of pancreatic diseases. It results from communication between a pancreatic duct and the pleural space, either directly, or through a pseudocyst. The treatment is medical or surgical. We report a case of pancreaticopleural fistula occurring in a man suffering from chronic pancreatitis, and treated by endoscopy.
