[Severe hemorrhage in pancreatic pseudocyst].
Pseudocysts in the pancreas occur in 10% of patients with pancreatitis and may lead to serious complications, i.e. infection, obstruction of the bile duct, rupture, and hemorrhage. The last complication is highly lethal. Two patients are described, with differing modes of presentation and therapy. In one patient hemostasis was obtained by surgical packing followed by percutaneous embolization. In the other patient embolization failed and surgical resection was necessary.
