A pancreatic pseudocyst is a localised collection of pancreatic secretions that lacks a true epithelial lining and is walled off by granulation tissue. A rare case of pancreatic pseudocyst formation due to non-traumatic pancreatitis in a 3-year-old boy is described. The child was presented with
BACKGROUND
Pancreatic pseudocyst is an uncommon disorder in Nigeria compared with the Caucasian population.
OBJECTIVE
This study was carried out to determine the pattern and outcome of surgical management of the disease in a Nigerian population.
METHODS
The authors reviewed the records of 10
OBJECTIVE
We describe the case of a 38 year old man, with a story of alcohol abuse, who developed a very painful nodular subcutaneous fat necrosis, fever and polyarthritis, denying any abdominal symptoms due to a pancreatic pseudocyst-inferior vena cava fistula.
METHODS
The authors discuss the
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided pancreatic pseudocyst drainage has become the standard and safety procedure in many centers for nonsurgical treatment. If multiple stents or another nasocystic catheter are used, the pseudocyst is recannulated using a catheter and guidewire. To
Fifty-five leukocyte scintigraphies were performed. Thirty-five patients (group 1) with acute pancreatitis in the early phase and 20 patients (group 2) with pancreatic chronic pseudocysts following acute pancreatitis were tested. The clinical features, laboratory parameters, and Ranson
The treatment recommendations for intracystic hemorrhage in pancreatic pseudocysts are various. We have used a defined treatment protocol in these difficult cases. The experiences gained are reported here. Patients with clinical signs of ongoing bleeding and with hemorrhagic pancreatic pseudocyst in
Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided transgastric and transduodenal drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst (PP) has become a standard and safe procedure for nonsurgical treatment. However, there are only four reports on transjejunal drainage of PP in a patient with or without altered anatomy.
The case records of 69 patients who had pancreatic pseudocysts were reviewed retrospectively. All patients had abdominal pain and tenderness, 38 had nausea and vomiting, 9 had chills and fever and 5 had jaundice. Forty-eight patients had elevated body temperatures and 26 had elevated leukocyte
The authors have treated 37 pancreatic pseudocysts in 36 patients by ultrasonically guided percutaneous puncture and drainage. The indication for intervention was rapid enlargement or threatening rupture of the acute (younger than 6-8 weeks) pseudocysts with recurring fever in 5 cases and chronic
Pancreatic pseudocysts are a frequent complication of chronic pancreatitis. Nonetheless, they seldom extend beyond the peripancreatic region. However, migration towards the mediastinum may cause heterogeneous and non-specific symptoms, such as dysphagia, chest pain and dyspnoea, which A 40-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of epigastralgia and vomiting. His condition was diagnosed as acute pancreatitis with a pancreatic pseudocyst, obstructive jaundice, and duodenal stenosis. Because he had fever, abdominal pain, and elevated levels of C-reactive protein (CRP),
BACKGROUND
Endoscopic ultrasonography-guided transgastric drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC) is the mainstay of treatment. Drainage can be achieved either by plastic stents or fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS). Plastic stents have small lumen diameter, which may limit drainage
Lap-Protector, which is an abdominal wall sealing device, is usually used for wound protection from implantation of malignant cells or pyogenic fluid. A circular stapler is a common easy-to-use device for anastomosis of the digestive tract. We report the case of an infected pancreatic pseudocyst
BACKGROUND
The occurrence of bleeding complications secondary to the development of pancreatic pseudocysts is rare but associated with high mortality.
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of pancreatic pseudocyst complicated by hemorrhage and infection.
METHODS
A 62 years old patient with history of severe
Fistulization of pancreatic pseudocysts into surrounding viscera is a well-known phenomenon and usually requires surgical management. We report two cases of pancreatic pseudocysts that developed spontaneous fistulas to the colon with resulting fever and abdominal pain. The patients were managed
