Title: Rare case of bilateral pleural effusion caused by pancreaticopleural fistula. Cord-id: 7h6tyz5g Document date: 2020_9_7
ID: 7h6tyz5g
Snippet: A 51-year-old man presented with dyspnoea and basithoracic pain. Chest X-ray revealed bilateral pleural effusion, which was managed by bilateral chest drain placement. The pleural fluid analysis showed elevated lipase. Subsequent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) demonstrated a large fistula from the tail of the main pancreatic duct to the left pleural space. Definitive treatment was accomplished with ERCP guided large pancreatic stents placement.
