 Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocysts are a common complication of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. But fistular formation or spontaneous perforation of a pancreatic pseudocyst through adjacent organs is rare. Even rarer is bleeding through the fistula between stomach and pancreatic pseudocyst with splenic artery pseudoaneurysm. Therapeutic modalities for ruptured splenic artery pseudoaneurysm with pancreatic pseudocyst include surgical correction and/or angiographic intervention likely splenic artery embolization. However, there seem to be a debate about which treatments are superior. We experienced a case of massive gastric bleeding through a gastrocystic fistula that was controlled surgically by distal pancreatectomy and gastric wedge resection. We report the case with a literature review.
