Abstrakt: | Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic and therapeutic tool for pancreaticobiliary diseases. Like every other procedure, ERCP can lead to complications that include pancreatitis, cholecystitis, perforation, and rarely, retroperitoneal hematoma. We present a case of post-ERCP acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis resulting in retroperitoneal hematoma and sequelae of unilateral hydronephrosis and ileus. The patient was treated supportively and had good clinical improvement with resolution of hydronephrosis, ileus and more importantly tolerating oral diet without further episodes of abdominal pain. Learning Points: The most common complications of endoscopic retrograde cholangiography are acute pancreatitis and hemorrhage. In high-risk patients, acute pancreatis can be prevented with rectal non-steroidal anti-inflammatory suppository before the procedure.Occurrence of Grey-Turner or Cullen sign should prompt immediate search for retroperitoneal hematoma especially in the setting of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis.Apart from hemodynamic instability or compressive symptoms, retroperitoneal hematoma can also cause complications due to inflammatory reactions resulting in hydronephrosis or ileus.
