This document provides tips for using a PowerPoint presentation on pseudocysts of the pancreas. It recommends that users can freely edit and modify the slides. It also suggests showing blank slides first to engage students in an active learning session by asking them what they know about each topic before presenting the information on the following slide. The presentation is designed for both classroom learning and individual self-study.

1. Tips on using my ppt.
1. You can freely download, edit, modify and put your
name etc.
2. Don’t be concerned about number of slides. Half the
slides are blanks except for the title.
3. First show the blank slides (eg. Aetiology ) > Ask
students what they already know about ethology of
today's topic. > Then show next slide which enumerates
aetiologies.
4. At the end rerun the show – show blank> ask questions >
show next slide.
5. This will be an ACTIVE LEARNING SESSION x
three revisions.
6. Good for self study also.
7. See notes for bibliography.

2. Introduction

3. Introduction
• A chronic collection of pancreatic fluid
surrounded by a nonepithelialized wall of
granulation tissue and fibrosis is referred to
as a pseudocyst. Pseudocysts occur in up to
10% of patients with acute pancreatitis, and
in 20 to 38% of patients with chronic
pancreatitis, and thus they comprise the
most common complication of chronic
pancreatitis.

4. Clinical Features

5. Clinical Features
• Tender abdomen
• Palpable mass in the abdomen
• Peritoneal signs suggesting rupture of the
cyst or infection
• Fever
• Icterus
• Pleural effusion

6. Diagnostic Studies

7. Diagnostic Studies
• Laboratory Tests
• Imaging
– X-ray
– USG
– CT

8. Management

9. Management
• Most pseudocysts resolve without
interference and only require supportive
care. For some, drainage is indicated.
Indications for drainage include the
following:
• Complications
• Symptoms
• Concern about possible malignancy

10. Non Operative Therapy

11. Non Operative Therapy
Drainage options are as follows:
• Percutaneous catheter drainage – The
procedure of choice for infected
pseudocysts; although recurrence and
failure rates are high, it may be a good
temporizing measure
• Endoscopic drainage, either transpapillary
(via ERCP) or transmural .

12. Operative Therapy

13. Operative Therapy
• Surgical drainage –
– Cystogastrostomy
– Cystoenterostomy
