Abstract:
Pancreas pseudocysts in childhood. On the basis of experience obtained with 9 patients treated over 31 years the authors publish the first comprehensive study in Hungary on the pancreas pseudocyst in childhood. Having reviewed their series and the medical literature main features and the possible prevention and management of this disease is outlined. Review of these patients with ultrasonography and chemistry tests is advised in order to follow-up the recovery and to screen the error in the glucose metabolism.
