Abstract
Recent publications dealing with pancreatic pseudocysts, pancreatic ascites, and pancreatic fistulas are reviewed. Terminology relevant to pancreatic pseudocysts and other complications of acute pancreatitis is clarified. The natural history of pseudocysts is examined. Newer management strategies for these complications of pancreatic inflammatory disease are discussed, including percutaneous drainage of pseudocysts and the use of octreotide in the management of pancreatic ascites and pancreatic fistulas.
