“…Once diagnostic work up is complete, initial management is primarily concerned with avoiding complications. Most pseudocysts will spontaneously resolve within 6 weeks [ 11 , 12 ]. During this time asymptomatic patients and those with mild symptoms are given supportive care with nasogastric feeding, proton pump inhibitors, and octreotide to reduce pancreatic secretions.…”

Pancreatic Pseudocyst Resolution After Parathyroidectomy for Hyperparathyroidism

Hyperparathyroidism is a rare cause of pancreatic inflammatory disease. Appropriate treatment of coexistent hyperparathyroidism and pancreatitis, especially when complicated by pseudocyst formation, is unsettled. We describe two patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who developed pancreatitis associated with multiple pseudocysts. The largest cyst in each patient was 9 and 5 cm, respectively. After correction of hyperparathyroidism and normalization of serum calcium levels by removal of a parathyroid adenoma, the pseudocysts resolved in both patients, as documented with computed tomography. We conclude that uncomplicated pancreatic pseudocysts in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism can be treated expectantly. Surgical correction of hyperparathyroidism and normalization of serum calcium levels should precede pancreatic intervention when possible, since pseudocyst resolution is likely and the risks of postoperative hypercalcemia are avoided.

Before endoscopic drainage of a pancreatic pseudocyst, a thin-section, high-speed, dynamic-contrast computed tomographic scan is essential. If there are findings consistent with the development of a pseudoaneurysm, angiography must be performed. This allows delineation of the arterial anatomy, as well as the option of performing angiographic embolization. While patients with pseudoaneurysms in the body and tail of the pancreas underwent resection, angiographic embolization alone was an acceptable alternative when the lesion was located in the head of the pancreas.
