Seventeen cases of pseudocyst of the pancreas were reviewed and a summary of the clinical manifestations and radiologic findings is given.
Preoperative diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst can be accurately made with the aid of radiologic examination.
Plain film roentgenograms of the abdomen revealed evidence of the pseudocyst mass in most cases (59 per cent). Upper gastrointestinal study was of value in providing more precise information relative to the location of the pseudocyst. Barium enema examination revealed evidence of extrinsic pressure on the transverse colon or irritation of the splenic flexure.
Various other radiologic manifestations are described.
