pseudocyst

Bleeding can occur directly or through the pseudocyst, if present.

This takes several weeks to occur and results in a pancreatic pseudocyst.

They may also be caused by leakage from a pancreatic pseudocyst.

When a pseudocyst of the spleen occurs, it is usually caused by trauma.

If the pseudocyst persists, gets larger, or causes pain, it will require surgical treatment.

A small pseudocyst that is not causing any symptoms may be managed conservatively.

The findings were highly suggestive of recent pancreatitis with pseudocyst formation.

Other tests that may be used in the workup of a pseudocyst include:

In some instances, other methods must be used to distinguish between a normal cyst and a pseudocyst.

This can lead to the development of a fluid-filled sac called a pancreatic pseudocyst.

A pseudocyst generally appears as a fluid-filled mass.

Draining such a pseudocyst carries an increased risk of pancreatic fistula.

A pseudocyst is collection without a distinct membrane.

Endoscopic ultrasound is the most commonly used test to gather the needed information about the pseudocyst for this method.

We present a case of bilateral hydroureter and hydronephrosis in which compression from a large pseudocyst seems to have been the cause.

Transgastric or transduodenal approaches are used when the pseudocyst is next to the gastro-duodenal wall.

In some cases, abscesses may be prevented by draining an existing pseudocyst which is likely to become inflamed.

The patient was managed conservatively with regular monitoring of renal function and of pseudocyst size.

If a pseudocyst is small and not causing serious symptoms, a doctor may want to monitor it with periodic CT scans.

The most common and effective method of diagnosing a pancreatic pseudocyst is with a CT scan.

The conclusion of the tests was that it was an inflammatory pseudocyst with abscess formation.

Complication of pancreatic pseudocyst include infection, hemorrhage, obstruction and rupture.

Some may develop abscess, pseudocyst or duodenal obstruction.

Ransohoff described a patient with a pseudocyst that eroded directly into the kidney causing cross haematuria.
