From: Major pancreatic resections: normal postoperative findings and complications
Pancreatic fistula. a Coronal curvilinear CT reconstruction shows the presence of a fluid collection (*) close to the resection margin of the pancreas (p) after a distal pancreatectomy. The presence of amylase from a surgical drainage (not shown in a) was consistent with a pancreatic fistula. b, c Spot images during ERCP show the passage of contrast material through the main pancreatic duct (white arrows) in the collection (*), a finding diagnostic for a leakage of pancreatic juice at the resection margin
