Abstract :

 Background: Pancreatic pseudocysts are best defined as localized fluid collections that are rich in amylase and other pancreatic enzymes, that have a nonepithelialized wall consisting of fious and granulation tissue, and that usually appear several weeks after the onset of pancreatitis. They are to be distinguished from acute fluid collections, organized necrosis, and abscesses. Pseudocyst is associated with considerable morbidity. A conservative management was done. Materials and Methods: In this study, 25 cases of pseudo–pancreatic cyst were included. Study was done in surgery department of JLNMCH, Bhagalpur, Bihar from October 2015 to September 2016. Thorough examination, investigations and surgeries were performed. The group included both males and females. Results: The average age group was 28 years. Males were more than females. Most common cause for pseudo–pancreatic cyst was found to be due to alcohol consumption in 18 (72%) of the cases. Others were due to gallbladder stones 4 (16%), Trauma 1(4%), Hypertriglyceridemia 1 (4%) and Idiopathic 1(4%). Fifteen patients were treated with antibiotics and other ten patients treated by percutaneous drainage under ultrasound guidance. The most common presenting complain was pain in epigastric region. CT Scan was the diagnostic tool used. No complications were recorded. Conclusions: All the cases of pseudo–pancreatic cyst responded well to conservative treatment in usually 4 weeks period of time.
