Pancreatic pseudocyst is the most common cystic lesion of the pancreas
seen following acute and chronic pancreatitis in 2-10% and 10-30%,
respectively. Imaging findings vary depending on the age and severity of
the attack. Infection, hemorrhage and rupture are the most frightening
complications. The possibility of spontaneous recovery is considerably
low. A 63-year old male patient who has history of longstanding alcohol
consumption presented to the emergency department with complaints of
abdominal pain. On computerized tomography (CT), an encapsulated and
round peripancreatic collection with a size of approximately 8.5x7.5 cm
was detected in pancreatic head. In the literature, no article is
published mentioning coexistence of complication such as infection,
hemorrhage and rupture. We present the association of these three
complications observed in our case. J Clin Exp Invest 2016; 7 (2): 203-206
