title: [Diagnostic and therapeutic strategy in duodenal diverticular bleeding: report of two cases and review of the literature].
abstract: Host of the duodenal diverticulum are asymptomatic and located on the second part of the duodenum; these diverticula may induce major haemorrhage on rare occasions. We report on two patients who presented with massive upper gastrointestinal bleeding originating from a duodenal diverticulum. One patient was successfully treated by endoscopy and the other patient required diverticulectomy with successful outcome.
