Pancreatic pseudocyst as a cause for gastric outlet obstruction

Abstract

Abstract The pancreatic pseudocyst contains pancreatic enzymes encapsulated by a non‐epithelialized wall. They are rare in the pediatric population and are mostly a result of pancreatic trauma: extrinsic, or intrinsic. Management options include conservative or surgical, depending on the clinical signs and symptoms, and the size of the cyst.
