A surprising diagnosis of pancreatitis with pseudocyst associated with sudden massive effusion

Abstract: Abstract. This article describes the case of a 40 year-old man presenting with pleuritic pain on the right side, cough, sputum and sweating symptoms. He had smoked 40 pack-years of cigarettes and consumed 140 ml alcohol/day for 20 years. Breath sounds were diminished at the right lung base. Chest X-ray showed right hemi-diaphragm elevation and heterogeneous opacity on the right inferior zone. Antibiotherapy was commenced for possible diagnosis of pleuropnemonia. The patient developed dyspnea after a few days. … Show more

“…The first, a reactive effusion, is usually small and mostly left sided, seen in 3–17% of patients with acute pancreatitis 1. One proposed mechanism is ‘migration of amylase rich fluid from the blood across capillaries that supply the pleural space’ 2.…”

“…This is usually reabsorbed upon pancreatic recovery without need for treatment of the effusion. The second type is associated with the development of a pancreaticopleural fistula, either from a leak from a pseudocyst across the diaphragm or more rarely a direct pancreatic duct leak (fistulous tract between the pancreas and pleural space) 1 3. Pleural effusion due to a pancreaticopleural fistula is a rare complication of pancreatitis.…”

“…При анализе нашего материала оказалось, что частота ПП зависит от длительности и тяжести заболевания, чаще встречается через 6 сут с момента заболевания и позже, а также при инфицированных формах панкреонекроза. Большинство больных с ПП на фоне ОП злоупотребляют алкоголем, их возраст колеблется от 20 до 55 лет [3,4,6].…”

“…КТ позволила нам диагностировать ПП у 3,5 % пациентов с острым лёгким панкреатитом, у 24,4 % -с асептическим и у 45 % -с ИП, что свидетельствует о зависимости тяжести процесса в поджелудочной железе и лёгочно-плевральных изменений [1,2]. Плевральный выпот при ОП встречается в 3-17 % случаев, при хроническомзначительно реже, менее 1 %, обычно возникает при формировании кист или панкреатических свищей [3]. Как правило, плевральный выпот носит КТ органов грудной полости (больная З., 25 лет): В передних отделах правой плевральной полости парамедиастинально и паракостально расположено фрагментированное осумкованное скопление неоднородного жидкого содержимого.…”
