We present a case of splenic abscess as a probable complication following endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Based on a literature review, there have been 11 documented cases of splenic injury following ERCP; however, only one of those involved splenic abscess. Proposed mechanisms of injury and abscess are likely a combination of complicating factors, including manipulation of the endoscope in patients with a history of chronic pancreatitis and/or previous abdominal surgeries.
