Abstract:
Though duodenal diverticula are frequent and most often asymptomatic, they can cause serious complications. We present a case of duodenal diverticulitis without perforation, diagnosed by CT and treated conservatively by means of endoscopic maneuvers and medical therapy. A review of the recent literature regarding duodenal diverticula, complications, diagnosis and management is included.
