Fluid collections are common findings of pancreatitis and spread, more often, along preferential drainage pathways in the abdomen. In some rare cases, fluid collections may spread towards extra-abdominal sites like the mediastinum leading to the formation of mediastinal collections. We present the case of a 52-years-old man with pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and mid-epigastrium lasting for some hours. Laboratory tests suggested a diagnosis of pancreatitis. CT and subsequent MRI revealed changes consistent with acute exacerbation on chronic pancreatitis spreading to the mediastinum and to the greater omentum. The patient received medical treatment and reported gradual improvement in his laboratory results and CT findings.

A 33-year-old, 8 weeks pregnant, presented with severe upper abdominal pain with vomiting on a background of a previous laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication for reflux disease. An urgent MRI had shown herniation of the fundoplication wrap through the diaphragmatic hiatus. The cause of her symptoms was attributed to hyperemesis gravidarum. The plan was to manage this patient conservatively until the conclusion of her pregnancy. This plan was revised when she presented for the second time and developed worsening pain and haematemesis. An emergency gastroscopy showed ischaemic changes in most of the stomach requiring the patient to undergo an emergency laparotomy. In pregnant patients, presenting with abdominal pain, vomiting as well as haematemesis, having had previous antireflux surgery, incarceration of the stomach must be considered as a differential. Prompt assessment and early senior decision-making is extremely important in avoiding a potentially catastrophic outcome for such patients.
