PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST SUCCESSFULLY TREATED WITH TRANSCUTANEOUS CYSTIC DRAINAGE AND TRANSPAPILLARY CYSTIC DRAINAGE

Abstract

A 46-year-old male with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic head pseudocyst developed an infection in the pancreatic head pseudocyst. The first endoscopic retrograde pancreatography (ERP) did not show the pancreatic pseudocyst communicating with the main pancreatic duct. However, after percutaneous pseudocyst drainage, the second ERP showed that the pancreatic pseudocyst communicated with the main pancreatic duct. Transpapillary cystic drainage was successfully performed using 5Fr tube stent.
