ABSTRACT: Iatrogenic duodenal perforation following ERCP/ endoscopic sphincterotomy is a rare complication. Prompt diagnosis and management will help reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. CT is the imaging modality of choice in patients suspected with duodenal perforation. We present the CT findings in two patients who had iatrogenic duodenal injury.
