title: Reversal of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus after percutaneous pancreatic pseudocyst drainage.
abstract: A 75-year-old man achieved complete reversal of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus after percutaneous, computed tomography-guided, pancreatic pseudocyst drainage. This reversal is believed to have resulted from removal of physiologic stress after drainage. This and previously reported cases of new-onset diabetes following this procedure suggest close serum glucose monitoring in all patients undergoing percutaneous pancreatic pseudocyst drainage.
