Abstract
LIMAS-SOLANO, Luis Manuel and BARRETO-NORATTO., Clara Patricia. Giant pancreatic pseudocyst drainage by endoscopic cystogastrostomy: Case report. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2022, vol.37, n.2, pp.210-213. Epub Aug 25, 2022. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.734.
Introduction:
The pancreatic pseudocyst is one of the late local complications of acute pancreatitis. For managing a giant pancreatic pseudocyst, there are multiple strategies.
Aim:
To present the case of a patient with a giant pancreatic pseudocyst managed by endoscopic cystogastrostomy.
Clinical case:
A 41-year-old woman developed a giant pancreatic pseudocyst as a complication of acute pancreatitis that was managed by endoscopic cystogastrostomy without endoscopic ultrasound guidance, with good evolution.
Conclusions:
Endoscopic cystogastrostomy, with or without the help of ultrasound endoscopy or lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS), is a viable, safe, effective, and economical therapeutic option for selected patients with a giant pancreatic pseudocyst.
Keywords : Pancreatic pseudocyst; cystogastrostomy; endoscopy; pancreatitis; complications.
