AbstractDespite its first identification in 1885, intraluminal duodenal diverticulum remains a rare entity and only a few case reports are found in the literature. Its diagnosis is almost always delayed due to the lack of specific symptoms and to the very vague presentation consisting of mild epigastric discomfort. However, with the aid of new diagnostic modalities and imaging, it has become easier to diagnose this entity when its symptoms persist. Finally, it can remain undiagnosed in asymptomatic patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
