Pseudocyst--pain: Researchers have classified pancreatic pseudocysts according to the duct anatomy and the presence or absence of communication with the pseudocyst cavity. The aim of this classification system was to propose guidelines for an appropriate Rx. Most pseudocysts resolve on their own. However, when symptoms become persistent orSize > 6 cms, more complications.Pain can be prominent on a daily basis.
