description Pancreatic pseudocyst formation is a common complication of chronic pancreatitis. Rarely, a fistula develops between the pseudocyst and the portal venous system. We present a case of a 50-year-old man who was found to have a pancreatic pseudocyst-superior mesenteric vein fistula after being evaluated for several months of abdominal pain and weight loss. The patient was treated with endoscopic stenting of the pancreatic duct along with early enteral nutrition and suppressive antibiotics, which resulted in improvement in his condition. This case report highlights clinical presentation and the complexity of treatment of this rare diagnosis.
