ABSTRACT |
Chronic pancreatitis represents the end result of a continuous, prolonged, inflammatory, and fibrosing process that affects the pancreas. Pseudocyst is common sequelae of acute pancreatitis or chronic pancreatitis. Abdominal ultrasonography is difficult to detect pancreatic disease, especially located in pancreatic tail. A 56 years old man visited with upper abdomenal pain. We could visualize pseudocyst through abdominal transplenic scan in right oblique position.
