Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocyst is a well-known complication of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. It is a collection of fluid due to acute or chronic inflammation of pancreas or from injury. A pseudocyst with mediastinal extension is a rare entity. There are only few reports of endoscopic transesophageal drainage of mediastinal pseudocysts. We present a case of mediastinal pseudocyst in a 45-year-old male who presented with dysphagia, weight loss, fever, and productive cough which was managed endoscopically by endoscopic ultrasound-guided transesophageal aspiration.
