Abstract

Thoracopancreatic fistula is a rare complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis caused by an inflammatory or traumatic injury to the main pancreatic duct or side branches. Rupture of the duct into the pleura, pericardium, and mediastinum may present as a pancreaticopleural fistula, mediastinal pseudocyst, pancreaticobronchial or pancreticopericardial fistula. We present the imaging findings in a rare case of thoracopancreatic fistula caused by recurrent pancreatitis.

Özet

Torakopankreatik fistül, pankreas parankiminin yangısal hastalıkları veya travma sonucu, ana pankreatik kanalının veya yan dalları nın yırtılması ve kanal dışına çıkan pankreatik sekresyonların plevral boşluğa, mediastene, bronşiyal ağaca veya perikarda açılması ile oluşur [1]. Bu yazıda tekrarlayan pankreatit atakları olan bir olguda gelişen torakopankreatik fistülün düz radyografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme (MRG) bulguları sunulmuştur.
