Successful Endoscopic Resolution of Pancreatic Pseudocyst in Pregnancy

Journal of Perinatology volume 24, page 270 (2004)Cite this article

Dear Editor:

We read the paper of Eddy et al.1 with great interest about pancreatic pseudocysts in pregnancy. They report on a patient who was managed conservatively and had a distal pancreatectomy 3 weeks after cesarean delivery. The authors have gathered the published cases of pancreatic pseudocysts in pregnancy since 1980 to provide a descriptive review of this rare condition. Not to miss any case is even more important if we have only a very limited number of them. Therefore, it was quite a surprise for us that the only published definitively successful endoscopic resolution of pancreatic pseudocyst in pregnancy2 had not been reviewed by Eddy et al.
