Pneumothorax Following Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography: A Case Report

   As an invasive procedure endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is prone to develop complications including; pancreatitis, bleeding, cholangitis, and perforation. There are also other complications like pneumothorax, which are so rare. Although this complication is rare, delay in its management may lead to lethal consequences. The present study report a case of post- ERCP pneumothora...

Double major papilla: a very rare endoscopic picture

Variations in the bile duct and pancreatic duct opening are related to the process of rotation and recanalization during embryologic development. Complete non-union of distal common bile duct and duct of Wirsung gives rise to a double papilla of Vater [1]. A 48-year-old woman presented to the emergency room complaining of severe upper abdominal pain which later shifted to the right upper quadra...

The papilla of Vater emptying into the duodenal bulb. Report of two cases.

We have identified two cases in which anomalous papilla of Vater was found emptying into the duodenal bulb. In both instances, bile outflow from the papilla was confirmed endoscopically and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) was performed.

Acute pancreatitis caused by impaction of hydatid membranes in the papilla of Vater: a case report

Acute pancreatitis is a rare complication of hydatidosis and the successful use of endoscopic sphincterotomy associated with extraction of hydatid membranes has been rarely reported. We describe a young man who developed acute pancreatitis after rupture of an echinococcus cyst, located at the left hepatic lobe, into the biliary tract. The cause of pancreatitis was confirmed by endoscopic retrog...
