Duodenal diverticula are typically asymptomatic. This case highlights massive bleeding from a rare duodenal diverticulum, successfully treated with surgical excision.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Clinical Case Reports

Background:

  • Duodenal diverticula are outpouchings of the duodenal wall.
  • Most duodenal diverticula are asymptomatic and found incidentally.
  • Commonly located in the second part of the duodenum.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male presented with massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
  • The source of bleeding was identified as a duodenal diverticulum.
  • The diverticulum was located beyond the typical second-part location.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical excision of the bleeding duodenal diverticulum was performed.
  • The patient experienced complete resolution of bleeding post-surgery.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the potential for duodenal diverticula to cause significant hemorrhage.
  • Highlights the efficacy of surgical management for symptomatic duodenal diverticula.
  • Suggests considering duodenal diverticula in the differential diagnosis of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding.
