Abstract
A 40-year-old man presented with abdominal pain and odynophagia. CT scan revealed a pseudocyst in the posterior mediastinum and pleural effusion complicating pancreatitis. He was managed with transpapillary pancreatic duct stenting along with other supportive measures including octreotide, and he improved symptomatically. The stent was removed after four months; there was no pseudocyst on follow up CT scan.
