“…[7][8][9][10] Passage of the oblique viewing linear EUS scope to the right colon is typically not possible due to the short scope length and challenging oblique viewing optics; thus, EUS-fine needle aspiration is typically not an option for diagnosis. 7,8,11 The EUS mini-probe may be passed through the working channel of the pediatric or adult colonoscope, accessing any portion of the colon, and may provide useful diagnostic information. 4 In this case, we were able to visualize the fluid-filled, thin-walled spherical reservoir adjacent to the cecal wall with a similar appearance as seen on computed tomography imaging.…”

Intestinal subepithelial lesions are often encountered during endoscopy. Etiologies can include lesions intrinsic or extrinsic to the gastrointestinal wall. They can present a diagnostic dilemma as simple mucosal biopsies are often nondiagnostic. The combination of characteristic radiographic, endoscopic, and endosonographic features can aid in a definitive diagnosis precluding the need for unnecessary tissue sampling of extrinsic compressive etiologies. The location of the space of Retzius which is the traditional site of penile prosthetic pump reservoir insertion can predispose to cecal compression. We present a rare case of a penile prosthetic pump reservoir presenting as a cecal subepithelial mass on endoscopy.

“…It is well established that this expedient improves the drainage of the pancreatic juice and reduces hydrostatic injury. 74 Sofuni et al 75 performed a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial including 426 patients undergoing ERCP to assess the incidence of PEP after pancreatic stent positioning. In all, 213 patients received a pancreatic stent placement and showed a lower incidence of PEP when compared with those patients not receiving the pancreatic stent (7.9% versus 15.2%, p = 0.021).…”

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an advanced endoscopic procedure that might lead to severe adverse events. Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common post-procedural complication, which is related to significant mortality and increasing healthcare costs. Up to now, the prevalent approach to prevent PEP consisted of employing pharmacological and technical expedients that have been shown to improve post-ERCP outcomes, such as the administration of rectal nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aggressive intravenous hydration, and the placement of a pancreatic stent. However, it has been reported that PEP originates from a more complex interaction of procedural and patient-related factors. Appropriate ERCP training has a pivotal role in PEP prevention strategy, and it is not a chance that a low PEP rate is universally considered one of the most relevant indicators of proficiency in ERCP. Scant data on the acquisition of skills during the ERCP training are currently available, although some efforts have been recently done to shorten the learning curve by way of simulation-based training and demonstrate competency by meeting technical requirements as well as adopting skill evaluation scales. Besides, the identification of adequate indications for ERCP and accurate pre-procedural risk stratification of patients might help to reduce PEP occurrence regardless of the endoscopist’s technical abilities, and generally preserve safety in ERCP. This review aims at delineating current preventive strategies and highlighting novel perspectives for a safer ERCP focusing on the prevention of PEP.

“…Choledocholithiasis is seen in about 15% of patient with cholelithiasis. 1 Frequent complications following ERCP includespancreatitis (3% to 10%), cholangitis (0.5% to 3%), hemorrhage (0.3% to 2%) and perforation (0.08% to 0.6%); however, there are other rare incidents which includes, approximately 1% like cardiopulmonary, air embolism, ileus, intrahepatic sub capsular hematoma, hepatic abscess, splenic hematoma, pseudocyst infection, biliary or pancreatic duct fistula and reaction to contrast. 2…”

Post Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiography Bilateral Loss of vision: A Case Report

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is an invasive endoscopic procedure done more often for therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes. There are various complications of this procedure like pancreatitis, cholangitis, hemorrhage, perforation and other rare adverse events. In this case report, we discuss a case of a 40 years female who was referred to our center for endoscopic retrograde cholangiography. After the procedure she complained of bilateral loss of vision which was an unknown complication to us. But after looking back to literature we found two such case reports attributed to isolated bilateral lateral geniculate body infarct.
