Pseudocyst of pancreas - what does this mean
Pseudocysts of the pancreas are typically caused by pancreatic trauma or inflammation, such as from acute or chronic pancreatitis. they are collections of fluid and cells that form outside of the pancreas and are surrounded by a wall of fibrous tissue. symptoms can include abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. treatment may involve draining the pseudocyst or surgical removal.
What happens during the disease - pseudocyst of pancreas
Pseudocyst of pancreas is a collection of fluid that forms outside the pancreas due to an obstruction or inflammation of the pancreatic ducts. this obstruction can be caused by a variety of factors including trauma, pancreatitis, pancreatic tumors, and pancreatic duct strictures. as a result of the obstruction, fluid builds up within the pancreas and forms a cyst-like structure. this can lead to further complications such as infection, pain, and organ failure.
