| Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst |
Dec 21, 2008 |
|
| A 30-year-old male, with known heavy alcohol abuse, was admitted in the Emergency Department complaining of intense epigastric pain, nausea and vomiting. A CT scan showed a large 15-cm pancreatic body pseudocyst that extended upwards through the diaphragmatic hiatus into the posterior mediastinum, in close connection with the descending aorta. EUS-guided drainage of the mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst was performed through the terminal esophagus using a large-channel linear EUS scope and a one-step drainage system consisting of a diathermic catheter-guidewire assembly and a mounted 5 cm, 10 Fr stent (Giovannini Needle-wire). |

| Large pancreatic body pseudocyst of approximately 15 cm, which was compressing the stomach. The pseudocyst was drained with a Giovannini needle-wire from the stomach. After the transgastric puncture of the pseudocyst wall, a 10 Fr. stent was inserted over the needle-wire, with good drainage of the pseudocyst fluid inside the stomach. The stent was removed after 6 weeks with no complications. |
