Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pneumomediastinum caused by probing a pseudopapilla: Case report of a rare complication treated conservatively

並列摘要


Introduction: Pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema have rarely been reported to occur as a result of duodenal perforation from Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and sphincterotomy. Case Report: In this report, we describe a case of pneumomediastinum associated with ERCP. There was no evidence of duodenal or esophageal perforation on imaging and the patient was treated conservatively with full recovery. Conclusion: In the absence of frank perforation, pneumomediastinum and subcutaneous emphysema are rare complications of ERCP that can be managed conservatively with fasting, intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
