Abstract
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used as a dia gnostic and therapeutic procedure and common bile duct (CBD) stones ca n be removed using this technique. Early complications of ERCP are wel l recognized, but there is little in the literature concerning complic ations developing later. Gall stone ileus following ERCP has been prev iously reported but not with a delay of up to 2 months.(1) This case i llustrates such a delayed complication following multiple ERCPs for CB D stones.
