Giant intraluminal duodenal diverticulum: conventional barium study and computed tomography findings.
A case is reported of an asymptomatic intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (IDD) in a 21-year-old male patient with associated congenital abnormalities. During endoscopy for anemia an ostium in the duodenum was visualized, presumed to be the entry to an extraduodenal diverticulum. Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) barium examination showed, however, findings compatible with IDD. This diagnosis was supported by an abdominal computed tomographic (CT) examination. Surgical resection revealed a web in D2 with coexistent large IDD.
