Overview

Pseudocysts formation mainly occur when the main pancreatic duct or any of its branches get blocked by direct injury or infection. It causes oozing of the pancreatic enzymes into the parenchyma and forms a cyst. Pancreatitis remain the prime cause for the formation of pseudocysts. So, the etiology of pancreatic pseudocysts remains same as the etiology of pancreatitis.

Causes

• Acute pancreatitis
• Chronic pancreatitis
