[Percutaneous drainage of pancreatic pseudocyst in children]
Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocysts in children are usually the consequence of blunt abdominal trauma. Spontaneous resolution can be expected in up to 50%, while surgical drainage is required in the others. Percutaneous drainage of these pseudocysts has recently been reported to give good results. We present a 7-year-old boy treated successfully with percutaneous drainage of a traumatic pseudocyst of the pancreas.
