The questions that need to be answered are:
There are no fixed set of symptoms that the patient will present with; however, constant abdominal pain, anorexia or abdominal mass in a known case of pancreatitis. Occasionally, even large pancreatic pseudocyst remain asymptomatic.
* Where, how big and how many?
* Is there a communication with the pancreatic ductal system? Draining such a pseudocyst carries an increased risk of pancreatic fistula.


Patient may present with signs of Jaundice and Sepsis if it is infected.
In patients whom there is incidental discovery of Pancreatic Pseudocyst on Imaging, proper history should be taken check if the patient had prior history of pancreatitis.
