A pancreaticopleural fistula (PPF) is a rare complication of chronic pancreatitis secondary to a pancreatic pseudocyst or any disruption of the main pancreatic duct. It commonly presents as a recurrent left-sided pleural effusion after multiple thoracentesis. We present a rare case of a 41-year-old woman with numerous flares of chronic pancreatitis presenting with large bilateral serosanguinous pleural effusions and trapped lung secondary to a PPF. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a PPF leading to bilateral pleural effusions resulting in a trapped lung.
胰胸膜瘘（PPF）是慢性胰腺炎继发于胰腺假性囊肿或主胰管任何破裂后的一种罕见并发症。它通常表现为多次胸腔穿刺后反复出现的左侧胸腔积液。我们报告一例罕见病例，一名41岁女性，患有多次慢性胰腺炎发作，因胰胸膜瘘出现大量双侧血性胸腔积液和肺陷闭。据我们所知，这是首例有文献记载的因胰胸膜瘘导致双侧胸腔积液并引起肺陷闭的病例。
