Abstract
A case of an infected pseudocyst in the head of the pancreas is presen ted. Due to its small size and fistulization to the duodenum, a draina ge catheter was placed through the fistulous tract from a distant tran sgastric approach. The fistula was balloon dilated to improve its empt ying. Sixteen months later the patient remains asymptomatic with no re currence of the pseudocyst.
