Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Introduction: Pseudocyst is a common complication after attack of acute and chronic pancreatitis. Cysts which are >6 cm in size and are persistent after period of 6 weeks don’t resolve usually and may require surgical management whereas smaller cysts may be managed with conservative management. However a mediastinal pseudocyst is known but rare complication after pancreatitis[1][10] Case Description: We describe case report of a 38 years old male presenting with abdominal pain and weakness and intermittent breathlessness. Patient had history of multiple hospital admissions for pancreatitis when he was managed conservatively. Detailed clinical evaluation and after CXR, HRCT Thorax patient was diagnosed to have mediastinal pseudocyst. Conclusion: Mediastinal pseudocyst is a rare complication of acute/chronic pancreatitis. A differential diagnosis of mediastinal pseudocyst should be kept in mind in patient with mediastinal mass with history of pancreatitis.
