Insights
Endoscopic drainage successfully treated a posttraumatic pancreatic pseudocyst in a child. This case highlights endoscopic stenting as a viable treatment option for pediatric pancreatic pseudocysts.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Gastroenterology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Pancreatic pseudocysts can develop after trauma in children.
- Treatment options for pediatric pancreatic pseudocysts are limited.
- Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic and therapeutic tool.
Abstract:
The successful endoscopic drainage of a posttraumatic pancreatic pseudocyst in a 9-year-old boy is described. This case study suggests that there is a role for endoscopic placement of stents in the treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts in children.
