Abstract
3 children with pseudocyst of the pancreas resulting from blunt abdominal trauma are described (boys 6 and 8.5 years old, and a 6.5-year-old girl). Based on abdominal ultrasound and CT findings, nonoperative treatment was elected. There was spontaneous resolution in 1 and in the other 2 the pseudocyst was successfully drained. Previous reports and our own results indicate that it is safe to treat pancreatic pseudocysts in children after blunt abdominal trauma.
