Pancreatic pseudocysts are complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis
Pancreatic pseudocysts are collections of leaked pancreatic fluids which may form next to the pancreas during pancreatitis.
The pancreas may leak digestive enzymes when it gets inflamed which damages the pancreas causing collections of fluid to form which are called pancreatic pseudocysts.
A pseudocyst doesnâ€™t have a lining of epithelial cells separating it from the nearby tissue and isnâ€™t closed.
Although pancreatic pseudocysts are rarely cancer, they may need to be drained if you have pain or infection.
There is a higher risk for pseudocysts if you have a health issue that can cause pancreatitis including gallstones.
Cyst infection which may lead to sepsis and shock, Cyst hemorrhage, Bleeding into your spleen or a blood clot in a spleen vein, Blockage of the bile duct causing yellowing of your skin and eyes (jaundice)., Portal hypertension, Gastric outlet obstruction and Cyst rupture are some of the possible complications of Pseudo Pancreatic cyst.
