ABSTRACT
Usefulness of endoscopic pancreatic stents in the management of pancreatic ascites and pleural effusion has been evaluated only recently. We report a patient with alcoholic pancreatitis who presented with ascites and pleural effusion and had a pancreatic duct disruption in the body area on pancreaticography. A 5 F stent was placed across the disruption with rapid subsidence of both ascites and pleural effusion. The stent was removed after 12 weeks and there has been no recurrence during a follow-up period of 9 months.
