Introduction: About 10% to 20% of cases of acute interstitial edematous pancreatitis result in pancreatic pseudocysts, which typically go away on their own. Only individuals who experience symptoms like jaundice due to biliary system compression, gastric outlet obstruction, or abdominal pain, or who have an infection, should receive treatment. Pseudocyst infection resulting in sepsis, rupture with pancreatic ascites, hemorrhage or pseudoaneurysm development, and, in rare cases, fistulization to other viscera are among the problems associated with pancreatic pseudocysts. Fistulas most frequently occur between cysts and the colon, duodenum, and stomach. Here, we describe the effective endoscopic treatment of a patient with severe acute pancreatitis who acquired several infected fluid collections along with a cysto-duodenum fistula.

Keywords: pancreatic fluid collection; pancreatic pseudocyst’s fistula; ultrasound endoscopy; lumen- apposing metal stent; acute pancreatitis complication.
