Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that involves dilatation and stent insertion to treat symptomatic pancreatic duct obstruction. There hasn't been any reports of a duodenal perforation induced by pancreatic plastic stent migration into the liver. Perforative peritonitis occurs when the contents of the intestine leak into the peritoneal cavity. Stent migration leading to duodenal perforation, on the other hand, is a sluggish process in which inflammation forces adjacent organs to attach, preventing intestinal contents from leaking into the open peritoneal cavity. A case of duodenal perforation induced by pancreatic stent migration into the liver is presented.
