Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst is a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis.

CASE PRESENTATION:

This case report describes the management of a difficult case of pancreatic pseudocyst with a mediastinal extension in a patient having chronic pancreatitis. Different management strategies were used until complete resolution of this complex pseudocyst occurred using open surgical cystogastrostomy.

CONCLUSION:

Despite the availablity of different minimally invasive techniques to treat pancreatic pseudocysts, management of complex mediastinal pseudocyst may still require open surgical drainage procedures.
