Pancreaticopleural fistula secondary to chronic pancreatitis is a rare cause of recurrent pleural effusion. The demonstration of the fistula with endoscopic retrograde pancreatography and CT is invasive or limited. We report in two patients the use of magnetic resonance pancreatography as a noninvasive alternative to endoscopic retrograde pancreatography for the diagnosis of pancreaticopleural fistula.
慢性胰腺炎继发胰胸膜瘘是复发性胸腔积液的罕见病因。通过内镜逆行胰胆管造影术和CT来证实瘘管具有侵入性或存在局限性。我们报告了两例患者,使用磁共振胰胆管造影术作为内镜逆行胰胆管造影术的非侵入性替代方法来诊断胰胸膜瘘。
