Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 2, Issue 14
Abstract
Iatrogenic duodenal perforation following ERCP/ endoscopic sphincterotomy is a rare complication. Prompt diagnosis and management will help reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. CT is the imaging modality of choice in patients suspected with duodenal perforation. We present the CT findings in two patients who had iatrogenic duodenal injury.
