A Case of Common Bile Duct Perforation Developed During Diagnostic Endoscopic Retrograde

Abstract

Bile duct perforation caused by therapeutic procedures such as endoscopic sphincterotomy, guide-wire, and biliary stent were frequently reported. However, the case of bile duct perforation developed during diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram (ERC) was very rare and there has been only one case report until now. A 57- year-old man was admitted for the evaluation of dilated bile duct. During the diagnostic ERC, he suddenly complained of severe right upper quadrant abdominal pain and cholangiogram showed dye leakage from the duodenal side of distal common bile duct where the tip of catheter was closely adhered. He was successfully treated with endoscopic retrograde bililary drainage for 4 weeks.
