Pancreatic Pseudocyst

A pancreatic pseudocyst is a fluid-filled sac that can form in the pancreas, often as a result of pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas. Unlike true cysts, pseudocysts lack a distinct lining and are often made up of pancreatic fluids and tissue debris. They can vary in size and may cause symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, or fullness. Sometimes, they resolve on their own, but larger or symptomatic pseudocysts may require medical treatment or drainage. Proper diagnostic imaging and monitoring by a healthcare professional are essential for managing this condition.
