Summary A case of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum, detected by upper gastrointestinal roentgenogram is reported in a 54-year-old woman. The diagnosis was confirmed by gastroduodenal endoscopy. The typical diverticulum was attached to the posterior and internal wall of the descending duodenum, arose 1.0 cm below the papilla of Vater, and extended distally. The proximal extremity of the diverticulum presented a large aperture, and the pouch showed no distal orifice communicating with the duodenum. The internal and external surfaces of the diverticulum were both covered with normal duodenal mucosa. When surgical intervention, as in this case, is not required, gastroduodenal endoscopy alone permits an accurate differentiation of intraluminal diverticulum from incomplete mucous diaphragm prolapsed into the duodenum which strikingly resembles the diverticulum on x-ray films. |
