“…In the present study total regression of an acute pancreatic pseudocyst within 3 weeks was achieved in 1 patient in whom percutaneous antegrade drainage was performed twice. How ever, current studies have demonstrated a high spontaneous resolution rate of approximately 20% in acute pancreatic pseudocysts (2,19,22). Therefore, it is not clear whether or not the decompressive effect of puncture was res ponsible for the final disappearance of the cyst in this patient.…”

“…Sonography has continously gained impor tance as a non-invasive technique for initial diagnosis and follow-up o f pancreatic disease, particularly in view of its high accuracy of over 90% in the discrimination of cystic versus solid tumefaction of the gland (1,2). However, although three-dimensional delineation of solid masses is achieved, ultrasound does not permit reliable identification o f acoustic texture pat tern as benign or malignant.…”

“…Recent reports from the ultrasonographic literature, however, would lead one to believe that spontaneous internal decompression of a pseudocyst into either the pancreatic ductal system or alimentary tract may be more comnion and less lethal than previously believed. Spontaneous gradual resolution has been reported by Gonzales and coworkers in 1 3 out of 49 cases studied (27%) (7). The abdominal fluid that develops in patients with rupturing pseudocysts can be differentiated from cirrhotic ascitic fluid because of its elevated amylase and protein content.…”

“…Second, ultrasound can readily differentiate cystic from solid structures, thereby H Ilowing physicians to distinguish pseudocysts from edematous pancreatic tissue. In several recent studies, the accuracy of ultrasound in the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocysts has ranged between 85 and 100% (7)(8)(9).…”

“…It is more accurate than CT in nonobese patients [3,8,9,16,17]. In a comprehensive survey of the literature we could not find any report about the value of ultrasonography in cases of bleeding into the pancreatic pseudocyst, except for showing a sudden increase in size and pulsation of the pseudocyst [1,6,18].…”
