Unusual complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. 1976

J R Graham

A case is reported of extravasation of radio-opaque contrast medium into the duodenal wall surrounding the papilla of Vater during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). This is a particularly uncommon complication of this relatively new technique in gastrointestinal investigation. The uneventful and complete recovery in the case reported here is in line with the clinical progress of the few previously reported patients who developed this complication.
