RESUMEN
Duodenal haematoma usually occurs secondary to blunt abdominal trauma(1), although more recently it has been recognized as a complication of endoscopic duodenal biopsy(2). The two established management strategies are to treat conservatively until resolution of the haematoma occurs or to surgically evacuate the haematoma. We present a case of duodenal haematoma that was successfully treated by ultrasound guided drainage when no improvement occurred with conservative treatment.
