Summary

Pancreatic pseudocysts can be treated by endoscopic procedures. We report a case in which a naso-gastric tube, endoscopically placed through a cysto-gastrostomy, permitted the successful drainage of a large pancreatic pseudocyst without any recurrence.

Key words:

Pancreas - Pseudocyst - Naso-cystic tube
