It is a localised fluid collection, rich in pancreatic enzymes surrounded by a wall of non- epithelialized fibrous tissue. Mostly it presents in and around the pancreatic tissue but on rare occasions it may extend into mediastinum causing symptoms due to compression __ampersandsignamp; invasion of adjacent structures. We report a rare presentation of a young patient with dysphagia due to pancreatic pseudocyst extending into posterior mediastinum and compressing esophagus.&#13;
Approximately 50 cases of mediastinal extension of the pancreatic pseudocyst in the world literature are reported. Successful drainage of a mediastinal pseudocyst using a transesophageal approach under endoscopic ultrasound guidance has been reported. The literature was reviewed for clinical presentation, complications, and available treatment options for mediastinal pancreatic pseudocysts.&#13;
