title: [Clinical considerations on diverticula of the duodenum].
abstract: The authors, in the light of the data supplied by the literature, and through a careful analysis of their recent casuistry, based upon the observation of 48 cases of duodenal diverticula, propose a modern reviewing of the topic. After illustrating the etiopathogenetic, anatomo-pathological and clinical features of such disease, the Authors dwell upon the diagnostic and therapeutical problems involved, and point out the importance of a correct diagnostic iter and a consequent exact surgical indication. As a conclusion, they affirm the surgical treatment of duodenal diverticula, not exempt from risks, should be only reserved to cases rebellious to the medical treatment or severely complicate.
