Abstract

|
Intraluminal duodenal diverticulum (IDD), ’windsock web’, is known to be a rare congenital condition observed in the adult, sometimes causing an obstruction, pancreatitis, and acute/chronic bleeding. We experienced a case of intraluminal duodenal diverticulum associated with a chronic gastrointestinal bleeding in a young adult man. This condition was identified during the examination for an intermittent melena through a gastroduodenoscopy and an upper gastrointestinal series, revealing a lesion between the second and third portion of the duodenum. Laparotomy was planned for its management. A duodenotomy and excision of the diverticulum was performed and showed good results. (J Korean Surg Soc 2009;76:123-126)
