Abstract:
We describe a case of pancreatic mediastinal pseudocyst which presented atypically with palpitations due to marked cardiac compression. Computed tomography (CT) showed a large abdominal pseudocyst extending through the diaphragm into the posterior mediastinum. Surgical drainage produced rapid symptomatic relief and the pseudocyst resolved completely within 2 months.
