ABSTRACT

Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most common cystic lesions of the pancreas, and arise from pancreatic ductal disruption. They are complications of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Although they can be asymptomatic, they can also present symptoms like, abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. The diagnosis is accomplished by imaging, like the CT scan. Most of them resolve spontaneously with supportive care alone, but persistent symptoms and complications warrant invasive intervention. There is 3 types of drainage procedures: surgical, percutaneous, and endoscopic, being this last one the preferred approach, because is less invasive.
