title: Pseudocysts of pancreas in children.
abstract: A total of 7 patients pseudopancreatic cysts was managed in children over a period of 5 years. Trauma was responsible for the development of pseudocyst in one while in rest of the patients no etiologic factor could be identified. All the patients underwent trans-gastric cyctogastrostomy. With a mean follow-up of 30 months, no death and no recurrence was found. It seems that surgical experience of pseudopancreatic cysts in children is similar to that seen in adults.
