Splenic rupture is a rare but serious complication following Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Awareness and prompt diagnosis are crucial for managing this emergency, often requiring splenectomy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Abdominal Trauma

Background:

  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a common procedure for biliary and pancreatic diseases.
  • Multiple biliary stones can necessitate interventions like ERCP.

Observation:

  • A 52-year-old woman experienced splenic rupture post-ERCP for biliary stones.
  • Hemorrhagic shock developed, necessitating urgent diagnosis via CT and ultrasound-guided paracentesis.
  • Emergency splenectomy was performed for treatment.

Findings:

  • Splenic rupture is a rare complication associated with ERCP.
  • The case highlights the importance of recognizing this potential adverse event.
  • Literature review discusses mechanisms and risk factors for splenic trauma during ERCP.

Related Experiment Videos

Implications:

  • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for splenic injury after ERCP.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention can improve patient outcomes.
  • Further research into preventative strategies for ERCP-related splenic trauma is warranted.
