“…Autopsy data indicate that duodenal diverticula occur in 2-2% (Nagel, 1925) to 15% (Baldwin, 1911) radiologically in about 2% of patients (Cattell and Mudge, 1952). Such diverticula arise predominantly from the descending portion of the duodenum close to the Ampulla of Vater (Mahorner, 1951), 95% being located on the mesenteric duodenal wall; antimesenteric diverticula occur in only 4% of patients while bilateral diverticula (i.e.…”

SummaryA 72-year-old man with severe megaloblastic anaemia due to a benign duodeno-colic fistula originating from an antimesenteric duodenal diverticulum is described. Previous reports of fistulae from duodenal diverticula are reviewed.KEY WORDS: duodenal diverticula, duodeno-colic fistulae, B 2 deficiency. IntroductionThis report describes a patient with non-Addisonian megaloblastic anaemia related to duodenal diverticulosis and the formation of a duodeno-colic fistula. Such a rare complication of duodenal diverticulosis has, to our knowledge, not been previously documented.

“…In each of the cases reported above, the diverticulum exhibited the characteristics of the primary type. As a result of both post-mortem (Baldwin, 1911 ;Linsmayer, 1914 ;Nagel, 1925 ;Horton and Mueller, 1932 ;Grant, 1935) Edwards, 1939) investigations, primary diverticula of the duodenum are now recognized as being of relatively common occurrence. Experience has shown that despite this frequency they are, nevertheless, seldom associated with pathological affections, either of their own structure or of neighbouring organs.…”
