Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocysts are one of the most frequent complications after acute pancreatitis occurring in up to 20% of cases. Majority of the pseudocysts less than 4 cm resolve in 6–8 weeks. Large pseudocysts in the pancreatic head can cause biliary or duodenal obstruction. However, acute jejunal obstruction due to pancreatic pseudocyst has been rarely reported. We present a case of gallstone-related acute pancreatitis resulting in pseudocyst formation causing acute jejunal obstruction. The patient was successfully treated by surgery.
