Pancreatic Pseudocysts

Pancreatic pseudocysts are collections of leaked pancreatic fluids. They may form next to the pancreas during pancreatitis.

  • Fever
  • Swollen Belly
  • Nausea and Vomiting
  • An abdominal mass detected on physical exam

 

Causes

  • Pancreas injury or trauma
  • Pancreas infection
  • Pancreas tumor
  • High levels of calcium in your blood
  • Very high levels of blood fats (cholesterol)
  • Pancreatic damage from medicines
  • Autoimmune Disease
  • Conditions that run in your family that harm the pancrease. These include cystic fibrosis.

 

Risk

You may have a higher risk for pseudocysts if you have a health issue that can cause pancreatitis. These include gallstones. You may be able to decrease your risk by treating your health condition. Drinking less alcohol may also lower your risk.
