Abstract
Two weeks after successful endoscopic sclerotherapy of a bleeding duodenal ulcer a fifty-year old male patient developed a benign enlargement of the head of the pancreas and obstructive jaundice. He underwent exploratory laparotomy with choledocho-jejunostomy because there was no evidence of malignant disease. The enlargement of the head of the pancreas and obstructive jaundice are considered to be symptoms of a pancreatitis as a complication of the endoscopic sclerotherapy.
