title: Multidetector row computed tomography and volume rendering of an adult duodenal intraluminal "wind sock" diverticulum.
abstract: Adult duodenal intraluminal "wind sock" diverticulum (IWD) is a rare entity commonly complicated by pancreatitis and usually diagnosed by barium study or at surgery. We present surgical correlation of a case studied with multidetector row computed tomography (MDCT) and three-dimensional volume rendering (3DVR), which offered some unique insight into this condition and its pathophysiology.
