  • Title: Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum associated with heterotopic pancreatic tissue: case report and literature review.
    Author: Defraigne JO, Dubois J.
    Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1988; 88(6):388-91. PubMed ID: 3148254.
    Abstract:
    A case of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (IDD) in a young man with chronic abdominal pain is reported. Diagnosis was done by a barium meal. Surgical excision was performed. Associated ectopic pancreatic tissue was found at operation. IDD is of congenital origin and it coexists with other anatomical abnormalities in 40%. Complications include chronic abdominal pain, duodenal obstruction, gastrointestinal bleeding, pancreatitis. Endoscopic resection is feasible, but surgical resection is safest. Peroperative localization of the papilla of Vater is mandatory to avoid its injury during resection of the mucosal attaches of the IDD.
