Abstract
Pancreatic ascites is one of the rare cause of ascites. It usually occurs due to a complication of chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic trauma, or damage to the ducts during surgical procedures. There are case reports in the literature about the treatment of pancreatic ascites and different approaches have been reported. The main recommended methods of treatment for pancreatic ascites are conservative management, transpapillary stenting, and surgery. In this report, we describe a case with pancreatic ascites that treated successfully with endoscopic transpapillary stenting.
