Abstract

Rarely do pancreatic pseudocysts extend into the mediastinum. We recently evaluated a case exemplifying this phenomenon. Although ultrasonography demonstrated the nature of the mass, computed tomography (CT) allowed better definition of various anatomic relationships and afforded improved definition of the superior aspect of the pancreatic pseudocyst. The role of CT and its advantages over ultrasonography in the diagnosis and management of pancreatic pseudocyst are discussed.

摘要

胰腺假性囊肿极少延伸至纵隔。我们最近评估了一个体现这种现象的病例。尽管超声检查显示了肿块的性质，但计算机断层扫描（CT）能更好地明确各种解剖关系，并更清晰地显示胰腺假性囊肿的上缘。本文讨论了CT在胰腺假性囊肿诊断和处理中的作用及其相对于超声检查的优势。
