[Pancreatic pseudocysts in children (author's transl)].
Pancreatic pseudocysts in children are mostly caused by blunt abdominal trauma. The clinical and radiologic diagnosis is difficult whereas ultrasonography, convenient, painless and accurate enables to differentiate a solid from a cystic process. It is the best diagnostic method to follow the "natural"course of the pancreatic pseudocyst which can eventually disappear spontaneously. Three patients are described with their clinical, laboratory, radiologic and sonographic diagnosis. Two of our patients had an operation, one had spontaneous regression of his pseudocyst as documented by ultrasonography.
