ERCP is the most commonly used technique to treat biliary stenosis of benign or malignant origin. Duodenal perforations secondary to biliary prostheses are very rare but can be life threatening. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) plays an important diagnostic and therapeutic role in the management of biliary and pancreatic disorders. However, it is an invasive procedure with an associated complication rate in the vicinity and mortality. Therapeutic strategies are multiple. We present an unusual case of a patient who sustained a stent-related duodenal perforation after undergoing ERCP whose prognosis was poor.
