title: [Spontaneous perforation of a retroperitoneal duodenal diverticulum].
abstract: Spontaneous perforation is a rare complication of a retroperitoneal duodenal diverticulum; diagnosis and treatment are both difficult. We report a case of perforated duodenal diverticulitis diagnosed by CT, which required surgical intervention after failure of medical treatment.
