Abstract

Pleuropulmonary complications of pancreatitis are well known. Less commonly encountered is pancreaticopleural fistula. We describe the case of a 15-year-old boy with a presumed episode of pancreatitis, complicated by pseudocyst and development of a pancreaticopleural fistula. Successful medical management was achieved, and he made a full recovery. This case demonstrates that the rarity of such a condition leads to delay as well as challenges in diagnosis and management.
