Abstract

Drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts can be achieved by means of endoscopy. In this paper we report a case of a pancreatic pseudocyst of ten centimeters in diameter, that was successfully managed by insertion of a nasocystic drainage through the papilla of Vater. The procedure was simple and complications were absent. Transpapillary drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts is an effective procedure.
