Recurrent pancreatitis due to an intraluminal duodenal diverticulum: report of a case

Abstract: We report the investigation and treatment of a 14-year-old girl in whom a detailed assessment of recurrent episodes of pancreatitis revealed a large intraluminal 'windsock'-like duodenal diverticulum. As the diverticulum was closely attached to the papilla of Vater, it was resected by a transduodenal approach. This report focuses on the significance of rare congenital anomalies of the duodenum (e.g., duplication cyst, intraluminal diverticulum) during the diagnostic workup of recurrent pancreatitis in children.

“…However, IDDDs usually appear after the age of 30 and vary according to size, type, and location ( 17 ). Patients may complain of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or a lack of specific symptoms and signs ( 18 ). However, when the lesion obstructs the duodenum or compresses other organs, such as the biliary or pancreatic ducts, the patient may present with recurrent pancreatitis, intestinal obstruction, and pain.…”

“…Complications necessitating intervention are most commonly related to biliopancreatic manifestations, mostly choledocholithiasis or even mechanical obstruction of the common bile duct by the diverticula itself (Lemmel's syndrome), which could result in obstructive jaundice and cholangitis . It can also cause acute pancreatitis in cases of obstruction of the pancreatic duct . The most important indication for the surgical management of duodenal diverticula remains perforation with evidence of sepsis.…”

“…6 Haemorrhage, inflammation, compression of surrounding organs, neoplastic progression, cholestasis and perforation are also reported in the literature, with perforation being least frequent, but also associated with the highest morbidity and mortality. [7][8][9] An UGI endoscopy, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, CECT and MRI abdomen done for various abdominal symptoms could reveal diverticula at various sites. 2,3 There is surgical consensus that intervention is required only for symptomatic duodenal diverticula, which constitute only 1-5 per cent of total cases.…”
