[A pancreatic-pleural-pulmonary fistula as a complication of chronic pancreatitis].

The authors describe a rare case in a 40-year old patient of a pancreatic-pleural-pulmonary fistula. The patient had been treated six years previously on account of very painful relapsing chronic pancreatitis. After establishment of the diagnosis, confirmed by ERCP, the condition was successfully resolved by laterolateral derivation.

[Pancreato-pleural fistula as a complication of post-traumatic pancreatic mediastinal pseudocyst].

The authors describe a rare case of pancreatopleural fistula in a 42-year-old patient as a complication of a post-traumatic pseudocyst of the pancreas resistant to repeated conservative treatment. After establishment of a pancreatojejunal anastomosis side-to-side with an excluded jejunal loop and ligature of the fistula, regression of the pleural effusion and healing was recorded.
