The diagnosis of PPF in children requires a high index of clinical suspicion and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of massive pleural effusion where pancreatic pathology is present. A high level of pleural fluid amylase and the results from radiological imaging when the patients have symptoms play essential roles in the diagnosis of PPF. Currently, Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatigraphy (MRCP) is the imaging modality of choice. Endoscopic therapy and surgery are treatment options for patients who do not respond to conservative therapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12876-021-01842-1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,12]],"date-time":"2021-06-12T18:02:27Z","timestamp":1623520947000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Pancreaticopleural fistula in a child with chronic pancreatitis harboring compound SPINK1 variants"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0954-8246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Teera","family":"Kijmassuwan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prapun","family":"Aanpreung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Varayu","family":"Prachayakul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prakarn","family":"Tovichien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"1842_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"95","DOI":"10.1097\/MPG.0000000000001446","volume":"64","author":"CE Gariepy","year":"2017","unstructured":"Gariepy CE, Heyman MB, Lowe ME, Pohl JF, Werlin SL, Wilschanski M, et al.
