Abstract
We present the case of a patient with alcoholic. chronic pancreatitis who developed pancreatic ascites. The analysis of ascitic fluid was di agnostic; and ERCP showed one fistula in the pancreatic head to the pe ritoneal cavity. The patient was treated by continuous Somatostatin in fusion (250 microgr/h) for 15 days resulting in the disappearance of t he ascitis and avoiding the risky surgical therapy.
