  • Title: Haemorrhage from pancreatic pseudocysts presenting as upper gastrointestinal haemorrhage.
    Author: Garcea G, Krebs M, Lloyd T, Blanchard K, Dennison AR, Berry D.
    Journal: Asian J Surg; 2004 Apr; 27(2):137-40. PubMed ID: 15140667.
    Abstract:
    Haemorrhage is a rare but frequently fatal complication of pancreatic pseudocysts. The high mortality associated with pancreatic haemorrhage makes prompt and aggressive management essential. Occasionally, haemorrhage may present atypically, leading to delay in its diagnosis and management. This report details a case of pancreatic haemorrhage presenting as an upper gastrointestinal bleed and discusses the subsequent management. When managing patients with pancreatic pseudocysts who present with the stigmata of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, the possibility that the bleeding originates from the pancreas must always be borne in mind.
