title: Haemobilia causing acute pancreatitis after percutaneous liver biopsy: diagnosis by magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography.
abstract: Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) has received much attention as a non-invasive alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, primarily for investigation of choledocholithiasis, but also for evaluation of less common biliary anomalies. We present a case of haemobilia causing acute pancreatitis after percutaneous liver biopsy in which the diagnosis could be made clearly by MRCP, thus avoiding endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and sphincterotomy.
