  • Title: Esophageal obstruction secondary to a mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst.
    Author: Winton TL, Birchard R, Nguyen KT, Taguchi K.
    Journal: Can J Surg; 1986 Sep; 29(5):376-7. PubMed ID: 3530412.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a rare complication of pancreatic pseudocyst. A 47-year-old man suffered rapidly progressing dysphagia and complete esophageal obstruction secondary to extrinsic compression by mediastinal extension of a pancreatic pseudocyst. Ultrasonography and especially computerized tomography were instrumental in diagnosis and in the planning of the operation. A posterior cystogastrostomy successfully drained the pseudocyst and relieved the esophageal obstruction.
