Clinical significance of duodenal diverticula and value of hypotonic duodenography.
In 24 patients duodenal diverticula were found by means of hypotonic duodenography. Nineteen of these patients had also undergone a conventional barium examination, but with that procedure the diverticula were revealed in only 8 of them. The clinical significance of duodenal diverticula is suggested and the diagnostic value of hypotonic duodenography is emphasized.
