Abstract :
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a standard for diagnosing and treating hepatopancreatico-
biliary (HPB) diseases in clinical settings. ERCP-related complications are relatively common, ranging
from 4 to 30%. Themost common one is acute pancreatitis. ERCP-related necrotizing pancreatitis accounts
for 7.7% of ERCP-related pancreatitis cases. This complication may still be misdiagnosed, which might lead to
inappropriate treatment with a worse prognosis. Here, we report a 34-year-old case with ERCP-related necrotizing
pancreatitis who was successfully managed, but initially misdiagnosed with biliary peritonitis.
