title: Duodenal diverticular enterolith. A rare cause of small bowel obstruction.
abstract: Complications resulting from duodenal diverticula are relatively uncommon. We describe small bowel obstruction secondary to an enterolith formed in a duodenal diverticulum, probably as a result of habitual ingestion of large amounts of kaolin.
