A 61-year-old woman presented with recurrent pleuro-pericarditis following Nissen fundoplication. A diagnosis of anterior gastrodiaphragmatic fistula was made. The suspected etiology of the fistula was local ischemia. This kind of fistula, although exceptional, should always be considered in the presence of unexplained recurrent pleuro-pericarditis after fundoplication.
