Abstract
A pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC) is a collection of fluid that develops as an adverse event (AE) of acute or chronic pancreatitis. PPCs are encapsulated collections of fluid with well-defined inflammatory walls and minimal or no necrosis. Large symptomatic PPCs must be drained, and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage has become a standard treatment due to its inherent advantages. EUS allows the visualization of non-bulging collections and avoidance of intervening blood vessels and aids the determination of internal content type [1–4]. These factors enhance the success and safety of PPC drainage.
