DEL ROSSI, Miguel; MARTINEZ, Yolette; LOUIS, César  and  GARASSINI CH, Miguel. Hematoma intrahepático y subcapsular posterior a colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica (CPRE) reporte de un caso y revisión. Gen [online]. 2007, vol.61, n.3, pp.210-211. ISSN 0016-3503.

The most frequent complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are pancreatitis, bleeding and cholangitis. A number of less common adverse events have also been described including intraperitoneal bleeding reported in only a small number of patients or as individual case reports. A case of a 28-year-old female patient with choledocholithiasis is presented. Elective ERCP was performed with stone extraction. Intraparenchymal and subcapsular hepatic hematoma was reported following ERCP as a short term complication probably caused by the guide wire. This complication was treated with conservative measures. Early diagnosis and treatment of this complication can avoid surgery.
