Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocysts commonly complicate acute pancreatitis. They can evolve either asymptomatically or with important symptoms. Treatment can be surgical, endoscopic, or percutaneous. The authors present a case report of a 78-year-old man who developed symptoms of an acute abdomen during hospitalization. A CT scan showed two pancreatic pseudocysts (diameters 10 cm and 7.5 cm) that were successfully drained endoscopically. Multiple pancreatic pseudocysts can be treated successfully via an endoscopic approach.
