[Subcapsular hepatic hematoma: an uncommon complication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography].

This report describes the case of a patient who developed a subcapsular hepatic hematoma 48 hours after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. She was treated by embolizing the sites of bleeding and by surgically resecting the area. We review the literature and discuss the potential mechanisms that cause this complication.
