A Case of Pancreatic Pseudocyst Complicated by Pseudoaneurysm

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a complication that can arise in both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Overtime, this encapsulated enzyme-rich fluid collection may erode into surrounding vasculature and result in the formation of a pseudoaneurysm. Pseudoaneurysms can rupture into the gastrointestinal tract...

description Pancreatic pseudocyst is a complication that can arise in both acute and chronic pancreatitis. Overtime, this encapsulated enzyme-rich fluid collection may erode into surrounding vasculature and result in the formation of a pseudoaneurysm. Pseudoaneurysms can rupture into the gastrointestinal tract and present as upper, lower, and biliary bleeding. Evaluation of pancreatic pseudocysts involves computed tomography imaging or magnetic resonance imaging for both identification and monitoring. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) can be done to further visualize the lesion. In the presence of gastrointestinal bleed, management involves the combination of interventional radiology and surgery.
