Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a minimally invasive procedure to diagnose and treat the biliary tract and pancreas’ diseases. We would like to present a clinical case of a 66yearold patient, who underwent ERCP due to obstructive jaundice complicated by the subcapsular hematoma, 11.6×4.7×13.4 cm in size according to the computed tomography (CT), and by the leftsided hydrothorax after the hematoma was removed. The patient was successfully treated and discharged on the 15th day after drainage of the pleural cavity. Subcapsular hematoma is a potentially lethal and rare complication that can be treated with a conservative therapy, if diagnosed at an early stage.
