    Author: Prasad BN, Hira HS, Behera D, Jindal SK.
    Journal: Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci; 1991; 33(3):149-53. PubMed ID: 1794883.
    Abstract:
    A case of chronic pancreatitis with multiple pseudocysts of the pancreas and a pancreatico-pleural fistula causing massive left sided pleural effusion is reported, being a rare and an unusual cause of pleural effusion. This case illustrates the importance of pleural fluid amylase estimation in the diagnosis and the role of endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography to elucidate the pathogenesis of such an effusion. The role of medical management is also emphasized.
