Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Splenic pseudocysts are rare intra-abdominal collections that can occur after pancreatic or splenic trauma.
  • Management strategies for splenic pseudocysts vary, ranging from conservative observation to surgical intervention.

Observation:

  • The study presents two pediatric cases of splenic pseudocysts managed over three years.
  • Case 1: A splenic pseudocyst in a child healed spontaneously over nine months.
  • Case 2: Another child with a splenic pseudocyst required a laparotomy and segmental splenic resection.

Findings:

  • Splenic pseudocysts can exhibit diverse clinical courses, including spontaneous resolution.
  • Surgical management, such as segmental resection, is a viable option for refractory or complicated splenic pseudocysts.
  • The location and extent of splenic parenchyma involved influence treatment decisions.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights the importance of individualized treatment approaches for pediatric splenic pseudocysts.
  • Conservative management may be successful in select cases, avoiding surgical risks.
  • Surgical intervention remains crucial for specific splenic pseudocyst presentations, preserving splenic function where possible.
