“…However, pseudocysts may dissect into unusual anatomic locations including in and around the liver, the retroperitoneum, the splenic hilus, and the mediastinum [5], as well as the mesentery and pelvis. Left-sided or bilateral pleural effusions (as in our case) are common [1,6] but may also be seen in uncomplicated pancreatitis. The clinical presentation of this complication usually includes abdominal and/or chest pain and shortness of breath.…”

“…Le rôle du scanner est primordial dans le bilan d'extension de ces processus pathologiques à travers le diaphragme. Il peut s'agir d'adénopathies rétropéritonéales s'étendant dans le médiastin postérieur par l'espace rétrocrural, de la diffusion d'un pseudo-kyste pancréatique (fi g. 11-30) vers le médiastin par l'orifi ce hiatal ou l'orifi ce aortique [43,59,71], du passage d'une ascite par l'orifi ce hiatal en cas de hernie hiatale associée [31,72], de la diffusion d'un rétropneumopéritoine par l'espace rétrocrural ou encore d'amas graisseux omentaux s'étendant dans le médiastin postérieur par l'orifi ce hiatal [50]. Certains processus infectieux abdominaux (abcès sous-phréniques, phlegmon périnéphrétique, abcès amibien, kyste hydatique, fusée de pancréatite aiguë) peuvent également s'étendre dans le thorax en créant des brèches à travers le diaphragme.…”
