Abstract
We report two cases of pancreatic pseudocysts in children developing after blunt trauma to the abdomen. Gray-scale echography provides a safe and exact method in establishing the diagnosis and in the follow-up of the disease. In one case the pancreatic pseudocyst resolved spontaneously justifying our opinion that not all pseudocysts require surgical intervention provided the appropriate clinical, laboratory and echographic controls are available.Keywords
