A Pancreatic pseudocyst is usually a complication of pancreatitis but may follow abdominal trauma in children. Giant pseudocysts are rare and usually complicate chronic pancreatitis.
To report 3 cases of giant pseudocysts of the pancreas managed in our Centre within a three-month-period.
Two female patients aged 22 years and 65 years respectively, and an 11-year-old boy presented with giant pancreatic pseudocysts (>10 cm in diameter each) to our unit and were successfully managed. They all underwent exploratory laparotomy and cysto-gastrostomy with good outcome.
Giant pseudocysts of pancreas may not be as rare as they were thought to be. They can be effectively managed by cysto-gastrostomy.
胰腺假性囊肿通常是胰腺炎的并发症,但在儿童中也可能继发于腹部创伤。巨大假性囊肿罕见,通常并发于慢性胰腺炎。
报告我院中心在三个月内诊治的3例胰腺巨大假性囊肿病例。
两名分别为22岁和65岁的女性患者以及一名11岁男孩因胰腺巨大假性囊肿(直径均>10 cm)前来我院就诊,并成功接受治疗。他们均接受了剖腹探查术和囊肿胃吻合术,效果良好。
胰腺巨大假性囊肿可能并不像人们认为的那样罕见。囊肿胃吻合术可有效治疗该疾病。
