Abstract:
We report a case of a patient who developed an intramural duodenal hematoma after an endoscopic biopsy which caused obstruction of the duodenum with obstructive jaundice and pancreatitis. We speculate the limited mobility of the duodenum and its rich submucosal vascular plexus were the crucial factors.
