  • Title: Pancreatic pseudocyst causing portal vein thrombosis and pancreatico-pleural fistula.
    Author: McCormick PA, Chronos N, Burroughs AK, McIntyre N, McLaughlin JE.
    Journal: Gut; 1990 May; 31(5):561-3. PubMed ID: 2351306.
    Abstract:
    Portal vein thrombosis and pancreatico-pleural fistula are unusual complications of chronic pancreatitis. We describe a patient with chronic alcoholic pancreatitis in whom erosion of the splenic vein led to portal vein thrombosis and to the development of a pancreatico-pleural fistula. We suggest that fistula formation may occur over a considerable time period as the portal vein thrombosis was diagnosed three years before the amylase-rich pleural effusions.
