Abstract

Post Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pneumoperitoneum is commonly associated with perforated viscus but is rarely associated with benign causes. We present a case of 29 years old lady who underwent ERCP, who was found to have benign pneumoperitoneum subsequently. She was treated conservatively and recovered without complication. Although rare, post ERCP pneumoperitoneum of benign causes should be investigated as the course of treatment and outcome differ largely.
