Therapeutic endoscopy is followed by complications in less than 5 % of
cases. We report a case of an intramural duodenal hematoma after loca
l endoscopic injection of 28 mL Of adrenaline 1/10000 for a bleeding d
uodenal peptic ulcer. This hematoma was associated with acute pancreat
itis and was revealed by a hemoperitoneum.
