Fc. Powell et Tm. Brady, REVERSAL OF INSULIN-DEPENDENT DIABETES-MELLITUS AFTER PERCUTANEOUS PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST DRAINAGE, Radiology, 191(2), 1994, pp. 551-552
A 75-year-old man achieved complete reversal of insulin-dependent diab
etes mellitus after percutaneous, computed tomography-guided, pancreat
ic pseudocyst drainage. This reversal is believed to have resulted fro
m removal of physiologic stress after drainage. This and previously re
ported cases of new-onset diabetes following this procedure suggest cl
ose serum glucose monitoring in all patients undergoing percutaneous p
ancreatic pseudocyst drainage.
