Acute pancreatitis in its severe form may lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome and multisystem organ dysfunction. Acute lung injury is an important cause of mortality in the setting of severe acute pancreatitis. Besides lung involvement, acute and chronic pancreatitis may also lead to the involvement of other thoracic compartments, including mediastinum, pleura, and vascular structures. These manifestations are an important cause of morbidity and may pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. These manifestations have not been discussed in detail in the available literature. In this review, we discuss the thoracic complications of pancreatitis, including lung, pleural, mediastinal, and vascular manifestations.

“…There are a number of case reports on PAPAs occurring secondary to necrotising pneumonia1–4 but none of these cases opted for observation; the patient either died due to massive haemoptysis3 or the PAPA was treated 1 2 4. When comparing our case, the only two potential factors which differed were severe unremitting haemoptysis3 4 or multi-drug resistant pneumonia,1 neither of which our patient had.…”

“…Other documented causes are atherosclerosis, bronchiectasis, sarcoidosis, trauma, postcardiac catheterization, and postnecrotizing pneumonias. [ 2 3 ] Pathogenesis implicated is the progressive weakening of pulmonary arterial wall adventitia and media by granulation tissue, resulting in thinning of the arterial wall and formation of pseudoaneurysm. Subsequent rupture with hemorrhage produces hemoptysis.…”
