  • Title: Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum associated with trisomy 21.
    Author: Sampliner J, Kollins SA, Hermann RE.
    Journal: AJR Am J Roentgenol; 1976 Oct; 127(4):677-9. PubMed ID: 135516.
    Abstract:
    An intraluminal duodenal diverticulum is an uncommon congenital abnormality that may produce intermittent ostruction. The true pathogenesis of this lesion is still disputed, but it probably results from ballooning of a congenital web or diaphragm with prolonged peristalsis. An intraluminal "wind sock"-like structure filed with barium and surrounded by a radiolucent halo is the classic and diagnostic radiologic appearance. An association with trisomy 21 is made.
