Pseudocysts of the pancreas in children in Morocco.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Five children with pancreatic pseudocyst were treated from 1986 to 1998, 4 of these pseudocysts have a traumatic origin. Medical therapy reduces the pancreatic stimulation and favors the resolution or the maturation of the pseudocyst.

METHODS: First, all the children were treated with ultrasound-guided drainage. The duration of this drainage varied from 1 to 10 days with successful results in 3 cases. The internal drainage by cystogastrostomy was used in 2 cases.

RESULTS: The first showed a cystogastric fistula in the fifth day of the external drainage, the second was drained 2 times without success. There were no pseudocyst recurrences, and children treated surgically were discharged home within 7 to 10 days after operation.
