Visible Chronic Pancreatitis and Pseudocyst after Drinking Water and Changing Position

Chronic pancreatitis represents the result of a continuous, prolonged, inflammatory, and fibrosing process that affects the pancreas. Pseudocysts are common sequelae of acute pancreatitis or chronic pancreatitis and the most common cystic lesion of the pancreas. Abdominal ultrasonography is limited in detecting pancreatic disease, especially that located in the pancreatic tail. A 60-year-old woman presented to our institute with upper abdominal discomfort. We visualized pancreatic calcification and pseudocyst after filling the stomach with water by drinking and changing her body position. The patient was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and pseudocyst of the pancreatic tail.
