Pancreatic Pseudocyst is a local pancreatic complication, characterized by the accumulation of fluid, with little or no necrotic tissue inside, this entity is frequent in pathologies such as acute or chronic pancreatitis, leading to produce several affectations that can become serious and harmful to life. Pancreatic pseudocysts (PP) represent a difficult problem for physicians treating pancreatic disorders. Their treatment requires a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, radiologists and gastroenterologists. Historically, they have been treated conservatively or surgically, with acceptable rates of complications and recurrences. However, recent advances in imaging studies such as radiology and endoscopy have led physicians to implement percutaneous and endoscopic drainage in their treatment algorithms. In addition, laparoscopic surgery is an attractive alternative when surgical drainage is required. The aim of this review is to summarize the relationship of acute pancreatitis with pancreatic pseudocyst. In addition, diagnostic and therapeutic tools in the management of pancreatic pseudocysts.
