Demonstration of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum by computed tomography

Abstract: Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum is a rare congenital anomaly consisting of a saclike projection within the duodenum. Small diverticula may be asymptomatic; however, when these enlarge, patients may develop recurrent episodes of pain, obstruction, or pancreatitis. Normally, the diagnosis is made by barium luminal examination. We report a case where the findings were seen on computed tomography and confirmed by upper gastrointestinal series.

“…If the IDD is distended with food and repetitive peristalsis extends to the distal duodenum or proximal jejunum, it may mimic intussusception. In some cases, IDD mimicking intussusception has been reported (3,4). In our case, the initial diagnostic impression was also duodenoduodenal intussusception.…”

“…Twenty-seven days post-admis- ings of IDD, and one report has described MRI findings of IDD (4,5,8). CT and MRI reveal both a fluid-filled sac within the duodenum, similar to the pathognomonic "windsock" appearance evidenced in classic barium studies (4,8). In particular, the T2-weighted MRI is useful for demonstrating fluid accumulation, surrounded by a hypointense rim, in the duodenum (8).…”

“…The endoscopic findings are also characteristic in that the diverticulum appears as a blind pouch lined with normal duodenal mucosa. Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum has been reported (10,(12)(13)(14)(15)) in a few cases evaluated with computed tomography, endoscopic US, intravenous cholangiography, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, and endoscopic retrograde pancreatography.…”

“…At barium examination, such diverticula show the classic "windsock" deformity, with the contrast material-filled diverticulum seen to project into the true lumen. The diagnosis can also be made with CT, at which either a collapsed or contrast material-filled diverticulum can be seen (6).…”
