ABSTRACT

Pancreatic Pseudocysts Pancreatic pseudocysts are walled-off collections of pancreatic secretions that

may form as a result of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatic pseudocyst is a common complication of chronic pancreatitis occurring in 20% to 40% of cases. Pseudocysts can be treated by endoscopic cystenterostomy or transpapillary drain­ age, percutaneously with computed tomography guidance or operatively.
