Surgical endoscopy·2005

An 88-year-old patient undergoing emergency endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for gallstones experienced esophageal perforation due to a previously undiagnosed hiatus hernia. This case highlights potential complications and management strategies during side-view endoscopy.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Procedures
  • Surgical Complications

Background:

  • Cholecysto- and choledocholithiasis present a common clinical challenge requiring endoscopic intervention.
  • Emergency endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a standard procedure for managing bile duct stones.

Observation:

  • An 88-year-old female patient presented with symptoms indicative of gallstones and dilated bile ducts.
  • An emergency ERCP was performed due to clinical presentation and imaging findings.

Findings:

  • Esophageal perforation occurred during the ERCP procedure.
  • The perforation was attributed to a previously undiagnosed hiatus hernia.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of pre-procedural evaluation for anatomical abnormalities like hiatus hernias.
