Abstract:Introduction:
A duodenal diverticulum is an outpouching of all or partial layers of the duodenal wall. Duodenal diverticulum complications such as bleeding, diverticulitis, pancreatitis, choledochal occlusion, and perforation can develop. Localization of the diverticulum in the third part of the duodenum is rare. Surgical intervention with a combination of Cattell-Braasch and Kocher maneuvers in laparotomy is currently emerging as a viable option.
