  • Title: Recurrent pancreatitis due to an intraluminal duodenal diverticulum: report of a case.
    Author: Pumberger W, Maier-Hiebl B, Kargl S.
    Journal: Surg Today; 2012 Jun; 42(6):589-92. PubMed ID: 22270334.
    Abstract:
    We report the investigation and treatment of a 14-year-old girl in whom a detailed assessment of recurrent episodes of pancreatitis revealed a large intraluminal 'windsock'-like duodenal diverticulum. As the diverticulum was closely attached to the papilla of Vater, it was resected by a transduodenal approach. This report focuses on the significance of rare congenital anomalies of the duodenum (e.g., duplication cyst, intraluminal diverticulum) during the diagnostic workup of recurrent pancreatitis in children.
