Perforation without manifestations of acute abdomen after ERCP
Abstract
Perforations are rare
after endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) but they are serious
complications. Perforations may occur due to patient-related
factors or procedural technique. The mortality rate is higher than 37.5%. We
are presenting a patient with perforation detected on a computed tomography (CT)
scan after ERCP for obstructive jaundice that was treated conservatively.
Perforation after ERCP can be operated or treated conservatively according to
the patient’s condition.
