Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Complications
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with papillotomy is a common procedure for biliary and pancreatic issues.
  • Complications, though infrequent, can arise and require careful management.

Observation:

  • A 30-year-old male developed an abdominal abscess post-procedure.
  • Presenting symptoms included recurrent vomiting; fever, pain, and leukocytosis were minimal.
  • Computerized tomographic scans confirmed the abscess.

Findings:

  • The abdominal abscess showed complete regression following a three-week course of intravenous antibiotics.
  • The patient achieved full clinical remission without further intervention.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of recognizing and managing rare complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
  • Prompt antibiotic therapy can effectively resolve post-procedural abdominal abscesses.
  • Further research into the incidence and prevention of such complications may be warranted.
