[Spontaneous erosion hemorrhage in pancreatic cysts]

Spontaneous hemorrhage without earlier exploration in pseudocysts is a serious complication of chronic relapsing pancreatitis. In the past six years we have seen 6 patients with that disease in 91 cases of pancreatic cyst; 4 patients had distal pancreatectomy and partial excision of the cyst without postoperative complication; 2 patients died without having operative intervention.
