Pancreatic Pseudocyst

Pancreatic Pseudocysts are fluid collections around the pancreas, which are more common in chronic pancreatitis than in acute pancreatitis.

Asymptomatic cysts can be followed up
Cysts which are decreasing in size usually does not require treatment
Endoscopic or EUS guided drainage is done for symptomatic or persistent/enlarging pseudocysts
Percutaneous drainage is reserved for cysts not amenable to endoscopic drainage
