[Liver Abscess Secondary to Perforation after Duodenal Endoscopic Resection]. Korean J Gastroenterol. 2018 May 25;71(5):286-289 Authors: Choi SH, Kim SJ, Kang DH, Kim HW, Choi CW, Kim TU, Lee JS, Ko JH Abstract Duodenal perforation is a complication of endoscopic mucosal resection. Liver abscess secondary to iatrogenic perforation is extremely rare. A 43-year-old female visited the hospital to remove a sub-epithelial tumor on the duodenal bulb. After endoscopic mucosal resection with band ligation, duodenal perforation occurred. Endoscopic closure was performed successfully using a clipping device to manage duodenal perforation. After 4 weeks, the patient visited our outpatient clinic due to abdominal pain and fever. Abdominal computed tomography showed liver abscess that involved segment three. Liver abscess was resolved with a 10-week antibiotic treatment. To the best of our knowledge, no case of liver abscess secondary to duodenal perforation by endoscopic resection was reported to date in Korea. Here, we report a case of liver abscess caused by a duodenal perforation after endoscopic mucosal resection. PMID: 29791988 [PubMed - in process]
