Pancreatic Fluid Collections and Pseudocysts in Patients With Acute Pancreatitis

  • Chapter
Pancreatitis and Its Complications

Part of the book series: Clinical Gastroenterology ((CG))

Abstract

Acute pancreatitis (AP) has a wide range of pathological features, radiological appearances, and treatment options (1). In most cases, it is a mild and self-limiting disease. However, severe disease develops in approximately 20% of patients associated with local and systemic complications (2–5). Fluid collections commonly complicate AP and occur in up to half of cases of patients with moderate-to-severe cases (6,7). These fluid collections are associated with increased morbidity and mortality 8) and represent an exudative or serous reaction to injury of the pancreas. Around 50% of these acute fluid collections resolve spontaneously within 6 weeks (7,9,10). Between 10 and 15% may progress to pseudocyst formation after developing a capsule, and pseudocysts present further potential clinical and management problems.
