The pseudocysts present clinically as epigastric pain, abdominal masses to jaundice. Radiology helps in the diagnosis of the pseudocysts with the help of USG, CT scan, MRI, etc. These investigations govern the therapeutic procedures to be carried out. Aims and objectives: To understand the epidemiology of pancreatic pseudocysts. To analyze the various treatment modalities that can be utilized in the management of the pancreatic pseudocysts. To compare USG guided per-cutaneous aspiration with the other treatment options available in terms of patient and physician factors. Materials and methods: Data was collected from patients who came to Konaseema Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Institute for treatment. Patients diagnosed as pseudopancreatic cyst with help of diagnostic procedure like USG abdomen, Barium meal, if required CT scan Abdomen and admitted patients of both sex and all age groups were included in the study. Results: Commonest treatment was Internal drainage in 50% of the patients followed by conservative management in 36.66% of patients, external catheter drainage was done in 13.33% of the patients. Immediate postoperative pain was present in 16.66% of patients and wound infection in 13.3%. Conclusion: Acute Pancreatic pseudocysts were treated conservatively, infected cysts and ruptured cyst required external drainage.
