An Unusual Complication and Position 0f Pancreatic Pseudocyst: Gastric Intramural Pseudocyst

Gastric intramural pseudocyst is a very rare clinical condition which may develop as a complication of chronic pancreatitis. Herein, we present the case of a 46 years-old man with a history of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis who was admitted for epigastric pain. Clinical and imaging evaluation showed a gastric intramural pseudocyst. Notably, following three months of follow-up we observed complete and spontaneous resolution of symptoms mirrored later by CT proved spontaneous drainage of the pseudocyst.Pseudocysts of the gastric wall are very rare, and the exact mechanisms leading to its formation are unknown. The drainage is indicated only to treat or prevent gastric obstruction, infection or bleeding.
