Summary:A great deal of medical literature describes the efficacy and safety of the prophylactic pancreatic stent in reducing the incidence of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (post-ERCP) pancreatitis. At the moment, no serious complication due to the migration of this stent has been reported. We describe a case with perforation of jejunum induced by the migration of a temporary prophylactic pancreatic stent. This report indicates that we should pay attention to this severe complication when we place a temporary prophylactic pancreatic stent in patients who have peritonitis carcinomatosa or adherence of the intestine irrespective of oral intake.
