title: [Esophageal perforation in attempted ERCP].
abstract: In this report we refer to a 88-years old female patient who was admitted to our hospital under the diagnosis of cholecysto- and choledocholithiasis. Due to clinical symptoms, general performance status and sonographically proven dilated bile ducts emergency-ERCP was performed by an experienced endoscopist. Unfortunately esophageal perforation occurred due to subsequently diagnosed hiatus hernia. Potential pitfalls during examination as well as a concept of problem management during endoscopies with side-view optics will be discussed.
