Clinical symptoms of pancreatic pseudocyst?

When persistent epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting, weight loss and fever occur after acute pancreatitis or pancreatic trauma, and cystic mass is found in the abdomen, the possibility of pseudopancreatic cyst should be considered first.

A few pseudocysts were asymptomatic. Only B-ultrasound examination showed that the clinical symptoms of most cases were caused by the compression of adjacent organs and tissues by cysts. About 80% - 90% of them had abdominal pain. Most of the pain sites were in the upper abdomen. The pain range was related to the location of cysts and often radiated to the back.

Fever is usually low fever, diarrhea and jaundice are rare. If the cyst compresses the pylorus, it can lead to pylorus obstruction; Compression of duodenum can cause duodenal stasis and high intestinal obstruction; Compression of the common bile duct can cause obstructive jaundice; Compression of inferior vena cava resulted in obstruction of inferior vena cava and edema of lower limbs; Compression of the ureter can cause hydronephrosis, etc., and mediastinal pancreatic pseudocysts can have compression symptoms of heart, lung and esophagus, chest pain, back pain, dysphagia, jugular vein distention, etc
