title: Perforation of the common bile duct during endoscopic sphincterotomy: recognition on computed tomography and successful percutaneous treatment.
abstract: Retroperitoneal common bile duct (CBD) perforation is a rare complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We describe such a case with delayed diagnosis made by computed tomography (CT) and successful percutaneous management of the injury.
