Abstract:
We describe the nonoperative management of a traumatic pancreatic pseudocyst following blunt trauma in a child. This problem can be accurately diagnosed and followed with computed tomography or ultrasound. Percutaneous aspiration of unilocular pancreatic pseudocysts in children provides an attractive alternative to operative treatment in selected cases.
