Peripancreatic fluid collection (PFC) is a local complication of acute pancreatitis, and when accompanied by infection, drainage is required. In recent years, endoscopic ultrasound-guided peripancreatic fluid drainage (EUS-PFD) has become a widely adopted first-line treatment, with its effectiveness increasingly reported. In this review, to facilitate the understanding of radiologists who do not perform endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) themselves, the approach to interpreting convex-type EUS images is first described. Although EUS-PFD is an established minimally invasive treatment for PFC, appropriate patient selection and optimization of the treatment strategy remain essential. A solid understanding of EUS images is crucial to achieving successful outcomes. More evidence is needed in this field.
